Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Takka coin is that it was issued during the reign of Ahamad Shah Bahadur, who was the ruler of the Princely state of Mewar in India during the 18th century. The coin was made of copper and weighed 16.6 grams, which was a significant weight for a coin at that time. The fact that it was issued during a specific reign and has a unique weight makes it an interesting piece of history for collectors and numismatists.
