A century-old brass driving license badge from Hyderabad has been identified as a historical artifact from the Nizam era.
The badge was designed to be worn on the arm or waist, acting as an official permit for vehicle operators.
It features the license number 1163 and the Fasli year 1330, which corresponds to the year 1920.
The artifact provides insight into early 20th-century police oversight of motor vehicle traffic in the region.
