Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Ahmad Shah Bahadur Rupee coin from the Princely state of Jaipur is that it was made of silver, which was a significant departure from the usual copper or bronze used in minting coins during that time period. This indicates that the Jaipur state had access to a steady supply of silver, which was likely used to create the coin. Additionally, the coin's weight of 11.43 grams suggests that it was a substantial coin with a high monetary value.
