Interesting 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 the coin was minted by the Maratha Empire, which was a powerful Indian state that had its own currency. This coin is a rare example of a coin that was issued by a regional power during the Mughal era, and it highlights the complex political and economic dynamics of the time.
