1 Heavy Mohur - Jahangir Kanbayat mint

Jahangir's heavy mohurs — struck at twice the weight of the standard mohur — were almost certainly prestige pieces rather than working currency. The Kanbayat (Cambay) mint operated under Mughal authority in Gujarat, a region whose port trade made it one of the wealthiest provincial centers in the empire. Jahangir himself was a compulsive documenter of his own reign, and his memoir the Tuzuk-i-Jahangiri records his obsessive interest in fine craftsmanship, which extended directly to coinage.

KM# 180.1 distinguishes the Kanbayat issue from heavy mohurs of other mints by its specific die arrangement — a meaningful distinction given how few examples surface at auction.
