1 Mohur - Jahangir Taurus - Agra mint

Part of Jahangir's celebrated zodiac mohur series, issued between his regnal years 6 and 12, these coins replaced the conventional imperial portrait with signs of the zodiac — a deliberate break from orthodox Islamic convention that drew sharp criticism from the clerical establishment. Taurus pieces from Agra are among the more frequently encountered in the series, but surviving examples in collectible condition remain genuinely scarce given the small production windows assigned to each sign.

Jahangir documented his own coinage obsessively in the Tuzuk-i-Jahangiri, noting his personal involvement in the designs. That vanity is the reason this series exists at all.
