    Nice rupee from a tough period in India.

    This is not a rupee of Ahmad Shah Bahadur but his father's. The mughal emperor Muhammad Shah's name and title are written on obverse. The AH date is missing from top line.

    On reverse, the mint name is written as 'Dar-al-Sultanat Lahore', making it a Lahore mint coin. The regnal year 5 is visible in middle line which roughly translate to AH 1136.

    Regards,
