1 Falus - Humayun Jaunpur Mint

Humayun's control of Jaunpur was intermittent and contested. By 1535–1538 he was already losing ground to Sher Shah Suri, whose forces would drive the Mughal emperor into a fifteen-year exile in Persia by 1540. Coins struck at Jaunpur during this window reflect a ruler administering a frontier city under genuine military pressure, not a settled imperial power.

Jaunpur had its own pre-Mughal sultanate tradition of copper coinage, and the mint was operationally active when Humayun took it — which likely accounts for the continuity of output during what was, politically, an unstable occupation.
