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 the emperor's name and title in Urdu on one side, and the other side features a stylized floral design. The use of silver in the coin's minting was a significant departure from the copper coins that were previously used in the region, and it reflects the growing influence of European trade and commerce in the region during the late 18th century.
