| Additional information |
Aurangzeb's rupees from the Jahangirnagar mint — modern Dhaka — reflect his administration's aggressive eastward consolidation. Jahangirnagar had been the Mughal provincial capital of Bengal since the early seventeenth century, named in honor of his great-grandfather Jahangir, and remained a productive mint throughout his nearly fifty-year reign. Aurangzeb's fiscal demands on Bengal were considerable; the province was among the empire's wealthiest, and mint output here helped fund campaigns as far as the Deccan.
KM#300.40 distinguishes this issue by mint epithet rather than a simple geographic marker — a distinction that matters for attribution, as Bengal produced several concurrent mint signatures during this period.
