The twelfth Mughal Emperor of India, Muhammad Shah, ruled from 1719 until 1748. Previously identified as Roshan Akhtar, he was the grandson of Bahādur Shah I, the eighth Mughal emperor. At seventeen, he ascended the throne thanks to the Sayyid brothers, whom he eventually drove from power with the aid of Nizam-ul-Mulk ul Mulk Chin Qilich Khan. Many historians also referred to him as Rangeela, which means merrymaker. During Muhammad Shah's administration, the Mughal Empire disintegrated into a loosely knit collection of numerous regional governments. He fought the Marathas nonstop, losing Malwa to them in 1722 and eventually losing to them in Bhopal when Muhammad Shah was forced to pay them five million rupees and cede Malwa to them. In February 1739, Nader Shah decided to take over India. He defeated Muhammad Shah's army and reached Delhi in less than a month, where he recited the Khutba in his name. Following 30,000 villagers were killed in riots, Muhammad Shah was forced to ask for forgiveness and give up the keys to his treasury. Nader Shah decided to leave, but not before stealing the royal treasury's keys and the Koh-i-Noor and Darya-ye Noor diamonds. The invasion by Nader Shah caused the Mughal kingdom to fall apart quickly, and Muhammad Shah defeated the Afghan ruler Aḥmad Shah Durrānī, at Sirhind and later passed away in 1748 at the age of 46. This coin was minted at Islamabad by Muhammad Shah during his 21st regnal year in AH 1151 / Circa 1738-1739 CE.
