| Aanvullende informatie |
Shah Alam Bahadur's reign lasted barely three years, cut short by his death in 1712 after a succession war among Aurangzeb's sons that had itself consumed the preceding years. He was already in his mid-sixties when he took the throne — the oldest of the contenders — and his administration of the mints reflected a conservative approach that kept Aurangzeb-era monetary conventions largely intact.
Surat was among the most commercially critical mints in the empire, operating under heavy pressure from European trading companies who required locally struck silver for inland transactions. The East India Company maintained a particularly close interest in Surat mint output during exactly this window.
