Comment
Ruler: Nasir-ad-DaulaInteresting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Nasir-ad-Daula, who was the Nizam of Hyderabad from 1838 to 1857. During his reign, he implemented several reforms, including the introduction of a new currency, which this coin was a part of. The coin was made of silver and weighed 11.08 grams, which was a significant change from the previous currency that was used in the region. This coin was also unique in that it featured the name of the Nizam in Urdu script on one side and the date in the Islamic calendar on the other. This coin is now a rare and valuable collector's item, providing a glimpse into the history of the Princely state of Hyderabad.
