1 Rupee - Jahandar Shah Surat mint

Jahandar Shah's reign lasted less than a year — from March 1712 to February 1713 — ended when his nephew Farrukh Siyar defeated him at the Battle of Agra and had him strangled. Coins struck in his name are consequently rare by default, and the Surat mint, operating under its own rhythms as a major coastal commercial center, would have produced relatively few before the dies were retired and new imperial authority acknowledged.
