Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Shah Alam II, who was the last Mughal Emperor to have any real power and influence. He ruled from 1806 to 1837, and during his reign, the Mughal Empire was in decline and faced numerous challenges, including the rise of the British East India Company. Despite these challenges, the coinage issued during his reign, such as this 1 Takka coin, still reflected the rich cultural and artistic traditions of the Mughal Empire.
