| Additional information |
Jahangir's rupees are among the most varied in the entire Mughal series — his 23-year reign produced coins struck at dozens of mints, with Fatehnagar among the less prolific, keeping survivors relatively scarce compared to Agra or Lahore issues. The king was an obsessive documenter of his own reign, and mint names on his coinage serve as an inadvertent geographic record of Mughal administrative reach during his tenure.
KM#141.8 specifically distinguishes the Fatehnagar mint attribution, a classification that still invites occasional scholarly dispute given the inconsistency of mint-name calligraphy across die-cutters of the period.
