Comment
Calcutta New Mint, Farrukhabad. Note tiny crescent on reverse at 10 O'clock position. Otherwise nearly identical to KM#78/N# 51553Interesting fact
The 1 Rupee coin from Bengal Presidency (British India) made of Silver weighing 11.6g has an interesting fact that it was minted during the reign of Shah Alam II, who was the Mughal Emperor at the time. This coin was issued in the 1830s, and it features the image of the Emperor on one side and the British East India Company's logo on the other. This coin is a rare and valuable collector's item, and it serves as a piece of history that showcases the colonial era of India.
