Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Shah Alam II, who was the last Mughal Emperor to have any real authority, and his rule marked the end of the Mughal Empire's influence over India. The coin's design and inscriptions reflect the blending of Islamic and Hindu traditions that characterized the Princely state of Gwalior during that time.
