One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Mohammad Akbar II, who was the ruler of the Princely state of Bundi in India during the 18th and early 19th centuries. The coin features an inscription in Persian that reads "Sahib Qiran Sani," which translates to "Second Lord of the Auspicious Conjunction," a title that was given to Mohammad Akbar II by the Mughal Emperor Akbar II. This coin is a rare example of the currency used during the reign of Mohammad Akbar II and provides insight into the economic and political history of the Princely state of Bundi during that time.
