1 Rupee - Muhammad Shah Azimabad mint

Muhammad Shah's reign began with his placement on the throne at age seventeen by the Sayyid Brothers, the kingmaker nobles who had already deposed two emperors in quick succession. He eventually outmaneuvered and destroyed them in 1720, then ruled for over two decades — making him the last Mughal emperor to hold something resembling genuine territorial authority before Nadir Shah's catastrophic 1739 sack of Delhi stripped the empire of its Persian treasury and roughly half its productive revenue base.

Azimabad, present-day Patna, was a major Bihar mint with continuous Mughal output. The .436 series for this reign shows considerable variation in flan preparation across active mints.
