| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field displays the imperial legend in bold Nasta'liq calligraphy arranged in three horizontal registers separated by raised linear borders, reading the name and titles of Emperor Muhammad Shah. The uppermost register carries the emperor's name, the broad central band bears the epithet 'Badshah Ghazi', and the lower register contains the mint name Kora. Decorative floral or pellet ornaments punctuate the field between inscriptions, a hallmark of Mughal rupee design. The entire composition fills the flan to its edges in the characteristic hammered style of the period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Muhammad Shah's reign began in 1719 following the violent removal of his predecessor Farrukhsiyar, who was blinded and strangled by the Sayyid Brothers before the new emperor was installed as a puppet. He outlasted his kingmakers, eventually having them destroyed, but the empire he ruled was already fragmenting badly. Nadir Shah's sack of Delhi in 1739 removed enormous quantities of Mughal silver from circulation — the treasury was stripped, and provincial mints like Kora were left to sustain what coinage economy remained.
Kora, situated in what is now Uttar Pradesh, was a secondary mint whose output during this period is poorly documented in contemporary records.
