Hyderabad is situated in the south-central region of the Indian subcontinent. Hyderabad was the largest Princely State of the British Raj. Established from 1724 to 1948, it was the first state to come under the British paramount when they signed the subsidiary alliance agreement. A new standstill agreement was signed when India gained independence and Hyderabad became a part of the new India.

The Hyderabad state was founded by Mir Qamar ud din Khan, the governor of Deccan under the Mughals from 1713 to 1721. He held the grand titles of Asaf Jah, Nizam ul Mulk and Nizam of Hyderabad. When the Mughal rule was ending he established his own Asaf Jahi dynasty. Asaf was a descendant of the first Khalifa of Islam. They originally belonged to Baghdad but came to India in the 17th century.

The stunning silver coin of Hyderabad princely state shows, “Legends: In the name of Muhammad Shah” on its obverse side and ‘Julus Formula’ on the backside of the coin. The coin weighs between 10.7 and 11.6 grams.
