Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Sikandar Ali Khan, who was the ruler of the Princely state of Malerkotla in India during the 19th century. Malerkotla was one of the few princely states in India that was ruled by a Muslim dynasty, and this coin reflects the cultural and religious diversity of the region. Additionally, the fact that it was made of silver and weighs 10.80 grams suggests that it was a significant coin with a high value, and its preservation and circulation would have been carefully managed by the ruling authorities.
