Comment
Ruler: Shah Jahan II, Rafi-ud-DaulaInteresting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Shah Jahan II, who was the last Mughal emperor to issue coins in his own name. This coin, minted in 1131 AH (1719 AD), was part of a series of coins issued by Shah Jahan II to commemorate his victories and accomplishments. Despite being made of silver, the coin weighs only 11.37 grams, which is relatively light compared to other coins of similar denominations and materials from the same period. This may suggest that the coin was intended for circulation among the general population, rather than being a high-value coin reserved for the elite.
