Aurangzeb Alamgir, the last of the Grand Mughals, stopped engraving the Kalima on coins. The Kalima is an Islamic article of faith that translates to “the word of Islam”. Aurangzeb’s reasons for removing the Kalima from coins were:
Fear of pollution: He was concerned that coins with the Kalima could become polluted if they fell into the hands of non-Muslims.
Desire for sovereignty: He wanted to issue coins in his name as a mark of his sovereignty.
