| Additional information |
Jahangir's gold mohurs from this period are among the most literarily ambitious coins in Islamic numismatics. The emperor — an obsessive diarist and aesthete — personally directed that verses from his own poetry be inscribed on the coinage, a practice virtually unheard of among his predecessors. The Tuzuk-i-Jahangiri records his direct involvement in mint decisions, and he was known to reject dies that failed to meet his calligraphic standards.
KM#179.4 places this within the Agra mint series of his early regnal years, coinciding with the consolidation of his reign following the failed rebellion of his own son Khusrau in 1606.
