Comment

Nazarana Rupees were issued as semi presentation pieces. This coin likely never circulated and is of an odd denomination. 

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Shah Jahan Begum, who was the first female ruler of the Princely state of Bhopal and one of the few female rulers in Indian history. She ruled from 1844 to 1868 and was known for her progressive policies and efforts to modernize the state. The coin is a testament to her legacy and a rare example of a coin minted during her reign.
