Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Sikandar Jah, who was the Nizam of Hyderabad from 1838 to 1848. During his reign, he made significant efforts to modernize the state's economy and infrastructure, which led to the introduction of new currency, like this silver rupee coin.
