Aanvullende informatie

Shah Jahan's reign saw the rupee reach its most consistent standard of the Mughal period — silver purity held close to 96%, a discipline enforced through systematic assay that his predecessors had allowed to slip. Tatta, situated near the mouth of the Indus in Sindh, was one of the empire's busiest commercial ports and a natural location for a productive mint serving the maritime trade flowing through the region.

The Tatta mint designation distinguishes this piece from the far more common Surat and Agra issues of the same reign.
