Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Ahmed Shah Bahadur (Katak) Rupee coin from the Maratha Empire is that it features a unique "Katak" or "tanka" shape, which is akin to a cross between a square and a circle. This distinctive shape was a hallmark of coins issued by the Maratha Empire during that time period.
