| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse is entirely epigraphic, displaying five lines of elegant Nasta'liq calligraphy arranged in three registers separated by raised horizontal rules. The central and dominant band carries the name 'Jahandar Shah Padshah Jahan' — 'Jahandar Shah, King of the World' — flanked by the poetic couplet 'Ba zad sikka bar zar chu mehr o mah' ('He struck a coin upon gold like the sun and moon'). The lower register records the mint name Akbarabad and the regnal date Sanah 1124, Julus 1 (Hijri year 1124, first year of accession). The deeply struck, bold characters fill the flan with authority, characteristic of early eighteenth-century Mughal gold coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Jahandar Shah's reign lasted barely eleven months — from March 1712 to February 1713 — ended when he was strangled on the orders of his nephew Farrukh Siyar. Gold mohurs from any of his mints are consequently scarce by structural necessity, not by collector mythology. Akbarabad, the Mughal name for Agra, remained an active imperial mint through this period of rapid succession, but the volume it could produce under a ruler who spent most of his reign fighting off rivals was inherently limited.
