Taimur Shah was appointed Nizam (Governor / Viceroy) of the Punjab, Sind and Derajat by his father Ahmad Shah in 1170 AH and struck coins in his own name in these territories .
Interesting fact
The 1 Rupee coin from Punjab (Afghan States) made of Silver and weighing 11.4g is an interesting piece of history because it was issued during the reign of Taimur Shah, who was a powerful ruler of the Durrani Empire in the 18th century. The coin's design and inscriptions reflect the cultural and religious influences of the region at that time, making it a valuable artifact for collectors and historians.
