Comment
Struck during the reign of local ruler Hafiz Rahmat Khan, AH1167-88/1754-74AD.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 his name and title, "Shah Alam II, Badshah of Delhi," in Urdu script on one side, and the other side features the name of the mint, "Muradabad," and the year of issue, "1179-1182" (1766-1769). This coin is a rare example of a silver rupee issued by a princely state during the Mughal era, and its design reflects the blending of Mughal and local styles.
