1/2 Paisa - Aurangzeb Surat mint

正面描述	Heavily corroded copper flan bearing traces of Arabic calligraphic inscription in the central field, characteristic of Mughal hammered coinage. The legends, though partially obscured by patination and surface corrosion, appear to carry the regnal name or titles of Emperor Aurangzeb Alamgir. The irregular, roughly circular flan is typical of provincial hammered issues. The field is flat with no decorative border visible. Overall fabric consistent with small copper fractions struck at the Surat mint.

附加信息	Aurangzeb's copper coinage has long been overshadowed by his silver rupees, but the fractional copper issues from Surat tell a different administrative story. Surat was the Mughal Empire's most important port through the late 17th century — the primary gateway for hajj departures and the main conduit for European trade revenue — which made its mint output practically significant beyond its face value. KM# A297.1 is among the less documented fractional types, and genuine examples are frequently confused with contemporary imitations struck for local bazaar use.
