Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Nasir-ad-Daula, who was the Nizam of Hyderabad from 1830 to 1838. During his reign, he implemented several reforms, including the introduction of a new currency system, which led to the minting of this coin. The coin was made of silver and weighed 11.12 grams, which was a significant weight for a coin at that time. This coin is now a rare and valuable collector's item, providing a glimpse into the history of the Princely state of Hyderabad.
