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 an inscription in Persian that reads "Shah Alam II, King of the World, 1206-1214" (1792-1800). This inscription not only highlights the Emperor's name and title but also the duration of his reign, which spanned from 1792 to 1800. This coin serves as a piece of history that reflects the monetary system and political power of the Mughal Empire during that time period.
