| Additional information |
Aurangzeb seized the Mughal throne in 1658 after imprisoning his father Shah Jahan at Agra Fort and executing his brothers Dara Shikoh, Shuja, and Murad — a succession war brutal even by Mughal standards. Coins struck in his earliest regnal years, including this Aurangabad issue, carry the mint name of a city he himself had founded and named, originally called Khizrabad and renamed in his honor during his tenure as Deccan viceroy under Shah Jahan.
Aurangabad functioned as the primary administrative center for Mughal operations in the Deccan, making its mint politically significant from the outset of his reign.
