Falus - Aurangzeb Ujjain ND

One interesting fact about the Falus coin is that it was issued during the reign of Aurangzeb, who was the last powerful emperor of the Mughal Empire. Despite his efforts to reform the empire and strengthen its economy, the coinage during his reign was often debased, with coins being made of lower quality metals and with less consistent weight and purity standards. This debasement of the currency led to inflation and economic instability, which contributed to the decline of the Mughal Empire in the late 17th and early 18th centuries.
