| Additional information |
Aurangzeb died in February 1707 after a reign of nearly fifty years — the longest of any Mughal emperor — leaving an empire fiscally exhausted by his decades-long Deccan campaigns. Coins struck at Murshidabad in his final years circulated through Bengal's increasingly autonomous provincial economy, the very region that would within a generation slip beyond effective imperial control under Murshid Quli Khan.
Murshidabad was one of the most productive mints in the empire, fed by Bengal's substantial revenue flows from textile trade.
