1 Rupee - Jahandar Shah Lakhnau mint

Jahandar Shah's reign lasted eleven months. Placed on the throne in 1712 by the Mughal commander Zulfiqar Khan after a succession war that killed three of his brothers, he was deposed and strangled the following year by forces loyal to his nephew Farrukh Siyar. Coins from his reign are scarce simply by arithmetic — the Lakhnau mint had almost no time to produce them in volume.
