1 Mohur - Aurangzeb Aurangabad mint

Aurangzeb's gold mohurs from the Aurangabad mint span the middle decades of his reign — a period defined by his systematic dismantling of the relatively tolerant religious policies of his predecessors and his costly, ultimately ruinous military campaigns in the Deccan. Aurangabad itself served as his principal southern base of operations, making its mint unusually active for a provincial facility. The city had been founded and named by Aurangzeb himself during his earlier tenure as Mughal governor of the Deccan, before he seized the throne from his father Shah Jahan in 1658.

KM#315.1 distinguishes this type by regnal year placement — a detail that matters for attribution since Aurangzeb issued mohurs from over a dozen mints simultaneously.
