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. The coin features an inscription of the Emperor's name and title, "Shah Alam II, Badshah of Hindustan," in Persian script on one side, and an image of a lion on the other. The lion was a symbol of the Mughal Empire and represented the power and strength of the ruling dynasty. The coin's silver content and intricate design make it a valuable collector's item for numismatists and historians interested in the history of the Mughal Empire.
