Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the coin is that it was minted during the reign of Shah Alam II, who was the last Mughal Emperor to have any real authority, and his rule marked the end of the Mughal Empire's influence over the princely states of India. The coin's design, featuring the fort of Gwalior, also holds historical significance as it was a symbol of the princely state's power and independence.
