Comment

It was issued by shah Alam II, Srinagar mint

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued by Shah Alam II, who was the Mughal Emperor at the time, but it was minted at the Srinagar mint, which is located in the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir. This suggests that the coin was likely used in the Indian subcontinent, specifically in the region that is now India and Pakistan.
