Claim: Photo of a purported coin from 1818 confirms that coins depicting Lord Ram were issued even during Mughal rule.
Fact-check: There is no evidence that this purported 1818 coin depicting Lord Ram was issued by Mughals - FACTLY
Verdict: we could not find any evidence to show that the purported 1818 coin depicting lord ram was issued by a mughal emperor. though mughal emperor akbar had issued few coins depicting lord ram and sita, those coins were unlike the coin shown in the viral photo. such coins from akbar weren't issued in large numbers and minting ended right after akbar's death in 1605. some coins claiming to be from 1818 are modern, counterfeit coins made to look old and valuable. hence, the claim made in the post is misleading.
