1 Rupee - Shah Jahan Ujjain

Shah Jahan's reign produced some of the most meticulously controlled silver coinage in Mughal history — mint output was regulated through a system of assay and re-striking that kept fineness remarkably consistent across provincial mints. Ujjain, one of the oldest mint cities in the subcontinent, operated under this regime throughout his thirty-year rule.

The Ujjain mint mark distinguishes this piece within KM#224, a type produced across dozens of locations simultaneously. Regional attribution often depends on die-engraving idiosyncrasies as much as the mint signature itself.
