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. The coin features a unique blend of Mughal and Rajput styles, reflecting the cultural exchange and influence of the Mughal Empire on the Princely state of Kishangarh. Additionally, the coin was made of silver, which was a valuable and sought-after metal at the time, and its weight of 10.60 grams makes it a notable example of the coinage of the period.
