1 Rupee - Muhammad Shah Zain ul Bilad

Muhammad Shah came to power in 1719 after a period of catastrophic instability — four emperors had occupied the Mughal throne within a single year. His reign of over two decades was comparatively long by the standards of that collapsing dynasty, though it included the devastating 1739 invasion of Nadir Shah, who sacked Delhi and carried off the Peacock Throne along with an estimated 700 million rupees in treasure. The coinage continued uninterrupted through the occupation; Nadir Shah had little interest in disrupting the mint system that was producing his plunder.

The epithet "Zain ul Bilad" — ornament of the lands — appears across his silver rupee series, issued from dozens of mints across a shrinking empire. KM#436.63 references a specific mint attribution within that sprawling series.
