	Mughal, Aurangzeb Alamgir, Muhiy-ud-din Muhammad, AH 1068-1118 / AD 1658-1707, 1/2 rupee, (AH 1072 / AD 1661 RY 4). Mughal. Aurangzeb Alamgir, Muhiy-ud-din Muhammad, AH 1068-1118 / AD 1658-1707. 1/2 rupee, (AH 1072 / AD 1661 RY 4). Alamgirnagar (Cooch Bihar). KM# 296.1. Zeno 107918. Silver. Rare occupation issue, struck in name of Aurangzeb following the conquest of Assam by Mir Jumla in AD1661. Very rare. In 1661 the expansionist Mughal governor of Bengal, Mir Jumla, invaded and occupied Assam and Cooch Behar. Over the course of the next year, the Mughal armies faced their worst enemy: the tropical climate of the Bramaputra Region. By 1663 the debilitated Mughals withdrew from Assam, Mir Jumla was deposed, and the Raja of Cooch Behar, Prana Narayan (1633-1666), was able to reclaim his kingdom. Nonetheless, both Assam and Cooch Behar had to swear nominal allegiance to the emperor in Dehli (Ref: CNG coins in http://www.zeno.ru/showphoto.php?photo=28547 ) The legend, citing Aurangzeb, is in Persian language but uniquely for a mughal coin, it is written in Bengali script. It reads: Obv.: Aorangajeva vadas'aha Alamgira (Urdu = Aurangzeb Badshah Alamgir) Rev.: Jarava Alamgirnagara Sana x (Urdu = Zarb Alamgirnagar Sana x) The inscription is in Bengali script, but in the Urdu language.

Margins: four successors ('Umar el-faruq / 'Uthman al-'affan / 'Ali el-murtaza / Abu Bekr es-sadiq). VF. Not in Rahman's book. This is coin 35.04 (pag 71), assigned to Kabul but clearly Qandahar - RRR!. Article published in ONS Journal 194 - Winter 2008: New Coin Type of Babur, founder of the Moghul Empire - David Levy I recently acquired from the trade a shahrukhi of Babur with clear mint Qandhar but of a type for this mint unpublished to date. Coins from Qandhar have been reported of only one type [central multifoil - Rahman 38, p.71] but this one is of lozenges type and its discovery raises interesting conclusions on the commencement of the standardization of the lozenges design on Babur's coins. The coin is a silver shahrukhi, of lozenge type, 27 mm of diameter (max), 4.60g, die axis of -10o. Although striking was a bit weak at center, overall condition is VF. As usual for this coinage, the reverse shows the Kalima in the center, surrounded by the four Caliphs with their attributes. The obverse, of a high standard calligraphy, has the legends - "Zahir uddin Muhammad Babur Badshah Ghazi" (in the cartouche), "Al-Sultan al-Azam wa Khaqan al-Mukarram" (on top) and "Khuledah Allah Mulkahu wa Sultanahu zarb Qandhar 935" at the bottom. This coin is exactly the same as Rahman's 35-04, p71, attributed as being from Kabul but now reattributed to Qandhar, with new suggested listing number of 39. The digit "9" of date is very clear under "ra" of Qandhar. The "3" is seen under the "hay" of Qandhar, and the "5" is placed under "touy' of Sultanahu. These readings are confirmed under high magnification inspection of the specimen and are legible despite the black deposit in that area (see reconstruction above). This dated coin can thus be considered as an introductory issue after Babur's consolidation of his empire, with a view to introduce a uniform design throughout the domain. It helps in dating the dateless 35 series [page 71], and the epigraphy establishes that the die was cut [and perhaps struck] at a central mint at Kabul for both the issues. The dating on this coin and the deterioration in calligraphic standards of series 74 [page 93] and virtually all the Indian mint issues lead, credence to the adoption of this central lozenge type for all post AH 935 coinage, possibly cut and minted at Agra from AH 936 onwards.

Provenance: Baldwin's Auctions; September 29th, 2011, Sale 71, lot 1444 Baldwin's Auctions Ltd, Dmitry Markov Coins & Medals, M&M Numismatics Ltd; January 11th, 2006, Sale The New York Sale XI - The Michael Sarnefors Collection of Indian Coins (part I) - Mughal Empire, lot 485 It is not known for certain where this Daulatabad was. One possibility is the town of Chandausi, a Rohilla mint town mentioned by Prinsep, which was ruled by a certain Daulat Khan in the middle of the 18th century. The fabric of this coin with the mint-name Daulatabad show a strong resemblance with the coins of Najibabad in Rohilkhand. The location of the mint-town Daulatabad, as well as the issuing authority, has not yet been ascertained. Therefore the coin, which must have been struck between 23.04.1803 – 28.07.1803, is provisionally listed under Shah Alam II.
