Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Shah Jahan, who was known for his love of art and architecture, and his reign is often referred to as the "Golden Age" of the Mughal Empire. This coin, made of silver, was a standard circulation coin during his rule and features an inscription in Persian that reads "Shah Jahan, the second king of the world" on one side, and an image of the emperor on the other. This coin is a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of the Mughal Empire, and its significance as a symbol of the empire's economic and political power during that time.
