Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Shah Alam II, who was the Mughal Emperor at the time, but it was issued by the Princely state of Indore, which was a vassal state of the Mughal Empire. This coin is a rare example of a coin that was issued by a princely state during the Mughal era, and it highlights the complex political and economic relationships that existed between the Mughal Empire and its vassal states during that time.
