1 Mohur - Shah Jahan Akbarabad mint

Shah Jahan's gold mohurs from the Akbarabad (Agra) mint were struck during the most financially intensive building campaign in Mughal history — the construction of the Taj Mahal and the systematic refurbishment of the Agra fort complex consumed enormous state resources through precisely this period. The mint at Agra was among the most productive in the empire, processing bullion from trade revenues that flowed through Surat's increasingly busy port.

KM#258.2 is distinguished from related varieties by its specific couplet type — Shah Jahan issued mohurs with rotating Persian verse cycles, making die attribution a meaningful exercise rather than a formality.
