Comment
Shah JahanII, Rafi-ud-Daula, Shahjahanabad Dar-ul-Khilafat Mint, Silver RupeeInteresting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Shah Jahan II, who was the son of Aurangzeb and the last Mughal emperor to have any real power. He ruled from 1719 to 1748 and his reign was marked by political instability, wars with the Marathas, and the gradual decline of the Mughal Empire. Despite these challenges, the coinage issued during his reign, such as this 1 Rupee coin, still maintained a high level of craftsmanship and beauty, showcasing the rich cultural heritage of the Mughal Empire.
