Beschrijving voorzijde Hammered silver flan bearing a three-line Persian/Arabic calligraphic legend arranged in horizontal registers across the field, reading 'Sikka Mubarak Badshah Ghazi / Jahandar Shah / 1124', denoting the regnal title and Hijri year of Emperor Jahandar Shah. The inscription is enclosed within a beaded or linear border typical of late Mughal rupee coinage. The lettering is executed in the Naskh-influenced style characteristic of Mughal imperial mint production, with the royal epithet 'Ghazi' (warrior of the faith) prominently featured. The flat, irregular flan displays the characteristic texture of hand-struck hammered coinage.

Aanvullende informatie

Jahandar Shah's reign lasted less than a year — he seized the Mughal throne in February 1712 after a succession war that killed three of his brothers, then lost it to his nephew Farrukhsiyar in January 1713. The Ahmedabad mint, one of the most productive in the empire's western territories, would have struck this rupee within that narrow window. Coins from his reign are scarce simply because the reign was short, not because minting was disrupted.
