1 Mohur - Shah Jahan Akbarabad mint

Shah Jahan's mohurs from Akbarabad — the Mughal name for Agra — span the precise decades during which he was simultaneously draining the treasury on the Taj Mahal and maintaining one of the most administratively complex empires in the early modern world. The Akbarabad mint was among the most productive of the imperial mints, its output reflecting the enormous volume of trade revenue flowing through the Gangetic plain.

KM#258.1 distinguishes the Akbarabad issues from concurrent mohurs struck at Shahjahanabad, Surat, and Lahore — all circulating at the same intrinsic value but varying in die style and regnal year. Dating within the 1634–1654 window requires reading the hijri year on the flan itself.
