Interesting fact
The 1 Rupee coin from the Empire of Sikh, made of silver and weighing 11.18g, is interesting because it was issued during the reign of Maharaja Sher Singh, who was the first Maharaja of the Sikh Empire to issue coins in his own name, rather than in the name of the Mughal Emperor. This coin represents a significant moment in the history of the Sikh Empire, as it marks the beginning of the empire's transition towards independence and self-sufficiency.
