Sagar MintInteresting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Shah Alam II, who was the last Mughal Emperor to have any real authority, and was also the first Mughal Emperor to be imprisoned by the British East India Company. This coin was minted during a time of great political turmoil and change in India, as the Maratha Confederacy was fighting against the British East India Company for control of the subcontinent. Despite the challenges of the time, the coin still maintains a high level of craftsmanship and beauty, showcasing the rich cultural heritage of the Maratha Empire.
