| Additional information |
Shah Jahan's rupees from Multan are among the more historically loaded coins in the Mughal series. Multan — one of the oldest cities in the subcontinent — served as a critical administrative and commercial hub for the empire's western territories, and its mint operated continuously through some of the period's most turbulent succession politics. The city sat astride major trade routes connecting Persia and Central Asia to the Gangetic heartland, meaning these coins circulated well beyond the borders of nominal Mughal control.
The date range spans the entirety of Shah Jahan's reign, ending the year he was deposed and imprisoned by his son Aurangzeb at Agra Fort.
