Comment
Struck during the reign of local ruler Hafiz Rahmat Khan, AH1167-88/1754-74ADInteresting 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 Persian script on one side, and the other side features the name of the mint, "Muradabad" and the year of issue, "1176" in the Islamic calendar. This coin is a rare example of a silver rupee issued by a princely state during the Mughal era and is highly sought after by collectors.
