Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Sir Sadiq Mohammed Khan V Abbasi, who was the Nawab of Bahawalpur from 1907 until his death in 1924. He was known for his efforts to modernize the state and promote education, and this coin may have been minted as a way to commemorate his reign and legacy.
