Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Shah Alam II, who was the last Mughal Emperor and ruled from 1759 to 1806. Despite being the last Mughal Emperor, he was still recognized as the nominal ruler of the Mughal Empire until his death in 1806, and this coin was minted during that time. Additionally, the coin was minted in the Princely state of Gwalior, which was one of the largest and most powerful princely states in India during that time.
