Comment
Ruler: Sawant SinghInteresting 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 it was actually minted by the Princely state of Pratabgarh, which was a vassal state of the Mughal Empire. This coin is a rare example of a princely state issuing its own currency during the Mughal period.
