| Beschrijving voorzijde | The obverse is entirely covered with calligraphic Persian legend in nasta'liq script, densely filling the field in multiple registers. The central inscription names the emperor Shah Jahan with his royal titles, including 'Badshah Ghazi' and 'Sahib al-Qiran Thani' (Second Lord of the Auspicious Conjunction), together with a regnal year (RY). The lower portion of the field bears the mint name Shahjahanabad and the declaration 'Rayij dar Jahan' (Current in the World), standard Mughal monetary formulae. The legends are arranged in oblique radiating lines characteristic of late Shahjahanabad rupee production, with a bold horizontal stroke dividing the central field. The flan is round and slightly irregular, consistent with hammered manufacture. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Shahjahanabad — the walled city Shah Jahan founded in 1639 as his new imperial capital — operated its mint from the moment the city was substantially complete. Coins struck there carry a prestige the older provincial mints couldn't match; this was the emperor's own city, built to eclipse Agra. Shah Jahan's rupees are among the most technically accomplished of any Mughal reign, the calligraphy cut by craftsmen working under direct imperial patronage.
The reign ended not by death but by coup. Aurangzeb deposed and imprisoned his father in 1658, confining him to Agra Fort until his death in 1666.
