Note : Despite being outnumbered by six to one, Nader Shah crushed the Mughal army and invaded India in AH 1151. He captured Delhi, then returned it to the Mughal emperor Muhammad Shah in AH 1152 in exchange for the imperial Peacock Throne, the Koh-i-Noor and Darya-ye Noor diamonds and the contents of the imperial treasury estimated around seven hundred million rupees. The plunder seized from India was so rich that Nader stopped taxation in Iran for a period of three years following his return. “SAVE HERITAGE SAVE COINS”
