1 Rupee - Shah Jahan Akbarabad mint

Shah Jahan ascended the Mughal throne in 1628 following a brutal succession war against his own father Jahangir's other heirs, and the early issues from Akbarabad — present-day Agra, the imperial capital — reflect a mint working at full administrative capacity to assert the new emperor's authority through coinage. Akbarabad was among the most productive and closely supervised mints in the empire, its output subject to strict weight standards enforced by imperial assayers.

The KM#235.1 designation distinguishes this Akbarabad issue from the numerous provincial strikes of the same reign, many of which show measurable weight drift. Agra mint rupees from this window consistently test close to the official 11.4g mazhar standard.
