1 Rupee - Shah Alam Bahadur Akbarabad Mint

Shah Alam Bahadur's reign lasted barely five years, from 1707 to 1712, and came only after a war of succession against three of his own brothers following Aurangzeb's death. The Akbarabad mint — located at Agra, renamed under Akbar in the sixteenth century — was among the most productive in the empire, though by 1708 the administrative machinery sustaining it was already fraying under the fiscal strain of nearly continuous Deccan campaigning.

Aurangzeb had drained the treasury over a 27-year military commitment in the south. His successor inherited that deficit in full.
