| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field occupied by bold Nasta'liq calligraphy arranged within a cartouche, bearing the name and titles of the emperor Shah Jahan. The inscription is surrounded by an ornate floral and foliate border composed of scrolling vines, blossoms, and berry clusters rendered in fine relief. A radiating pattern of short strokes frames the inner legend panel, and decorative dot-rosette ornaments punctuate the field throughout. The overall composition is characteristic of the refined artistic programme of Mughal imperial gold coinage. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse displays the Kalima shahada inscribed within a central lobed cartouche in bold Nasta'liq script, attesting to the Islamic faith of the issuing sovereign. Surrounding the central panel, a dense foliate border of scrolling vines, stylised flowers, and berry clusters frames the composition, consistent with Mughal decorative convention. The regnal year and mint name appear in the marginal legend, with the Hijri date and the name of the Daulatabad mint distributed around the periphery. Dot-rosette ornaments and short radiating strokes animate the field between the cartouche and the border. The engraving displays the high-relief hammered technique typical of mid-seventeenth-century Mughal gold mohurs. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Shah Jahan's final regnal year coincided with the War of Succession among his four sons. Aurangzeb seized Agra in June 1658, imprisoned his father in the fort there, and declared himself emperor — yet mints in territories still contested or only recently subdued continued striking in Shah Jahan's name for months. Daulatabad, the formidable Deccan fortress-city that Aurangzeb had governed as viceroy, was precisely such a mint: politically his, yet still producing coin under his father's authority during the transition.
This overlap makes issues from Daulatabad in AH 1069 among the more historically loaded of all late Shah Jahan mohurs.
