Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Shah Alam II, who was the last ruler of the Scindia dynasty of Gwalior. Despite being a princely state, Gwalior was known for its strong military and economic power, and its rulers were known for their patronage of the arts and architecture. This coin is a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of the region.
