| Additional information |
Shah Jahan's copper falus coinage is frequently overshadowed by his celebrated silver and gold issues, yet the falus served the overwhelming majority of his subjects who never handled a rupee in daily transactions. Ujjain, situated on the Sipra River in Malwa, functioned as a major regional mint throughout the Mughal period, its output supplying the dense commercial networks of central India.
KM#203.1 is distinguished from other falus varieties of this reign by its specific mint attribution — Ujjain examples often show characteristic copper quality tied to local sourcing.
