Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Shah Alam II, who was the last Mughal Emperor to have any real authority, and his rule marked the beginning of the decline of the Mughal Empire. Despite this, the coin still holds significant historical value and is a sought-after collector's item.
