Comment
Minted in Nagpur under pseudo name of Katak (Cuttack)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 "tiger" symbol on one side, which was a signature mark of the Maratha rulers. This symbol was used to signify the power and strength of the Maratha Empire, and it has become a distinctive feature of Maratha coins.
