Interesting fact
The 1/32 Rupee coin from the Mughal Empire, which was issued during the reign of Mohammad Shah (Khujista Bunyad) from 1719 to 1748, features a unique design element that sets it apart from other coins of its time. The coin features a stylized depiction of the Mughal Emperor, seated on a throne, surrounded by intricate floral patterns and calligraphic inscriptions. This design was a departure from the more traditional Islamic coinage designs that were prevalent during that time period, and it reflects the influence of Indian art and culture on Mughal coinage.
