Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Shahrukhi - Humayun coin is that it was issued during a time of great turmoil in the Mughal Empire. The coin was minted during the reign of Emperor Humayun, who ruled from 1530 to 1556. This was a period of political instability and conflict, as the empire faced challenges from external threats and internal power struggles. Despite these challenges, the coin remained a stable currency and was widely used throughout the empire.
