附加信息

Historical Context: This 1 Rupee coin, struck in silver in 1166 AH (1753 CE), originates from the Princely State of Hyderabad, bearing the name of Mughal Emperor Ahmad Shah Bahadur (r. 1748-1754). Issued from the Qamarnagar/Karpa mint, it signifies the complex political reality of 18th-century India. Hyderabad, increasingly autonomous under the Nizam, continued to strike coinage in the nominal Mughal suzerain's name, illustrating imperial decline and rising regional power.

Artistry: The design follows established Mughal numismatic tradition. The engraver is anonymous, and the stylistic school features elegant Naskh or Thuluth calligraphy. The obverse typically presents the emperor's name and titles, often in a poetic couplet. The reverse invariably displays the mint name Qamarnagar (Karpa), the Hijri date 1166, and the regnal year, meticulously rendered to uphold the imperial aesthetic despite regional issuance.

Technical/Grading: Weighing 11.37 grams, this silver rupee exhibits technical qualities characteristic of its period. High-points for strike or wear are typically the central calligraphic legends, receiving peak die pressure, while outer margins may show weakness from incomplete striking or flan spread. Planchets are often broad, thin, and can display minor irregularities or flan cracks. Strike quality varies, with off-center strikes common due to manual minting processes.
