Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Shah Alam II, who was the last ruler of the Princely state of Indore. The coin was made of silver and weighed 11.2 grams, which was a significant weight for a coin at that time. Additionally, the coin features an image of Shivaji Rao, also known as Shivaji II, who was a prominent ruler of the Maratha Empire in the 18th century. The combination of these historical figures and the use of silver make this coin a unique and interesting piece of numismatic history.
