Ruler: Mahadji RaoInteresting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Shah Alam II, who was the Mughal Emperor at the time, but it was actually minted by Mahadji Rao, the ruler of the princely state of Gwalior. This highlights the unique history of the Indian princely states, where local rulers had the authority to issue their own coins, even though they were under the nominal control of the Mughal Empire.
