 Mughal ; Ex Rare ; Azam Shah ; Silver Rupee ; Mint : Ahmednagar ; 1118 AH / RY " Ahad "

Weight : 11.53 Grams

Note : Muhammad Azam Shah was the eldest son of the sixth Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb. He was born in the year 1653 CE in the city of Burhanpur. He was appointed as ‘Heir-apparent’ in the year 1681 CE to his father. He seized the throne of the Mughal Empire in the year 1707 CE after the death of his father Aurangzeb. But in the same year, he was defeated by his stepbrother Muhammad Mu’azzam in the battle of Jajau, who later sat on the Mughal throne by the title ‘Bahadur Shah I’.

This silver rupee was issued by Azam Shah during the first year of his reign in the Hijri year 1118. On the obverse, the side coin bears the legend as ‘Sikka zad dar jahan ba daulat-wa-jah badshah mumalik Azam Shah, AH 1118’. On the reverse side, the coin bears the legend as ‘julus-e-ashraf, sanah ahad, zarb Ahmednagar’.

  Mughal ; Shah Alam Bahadur, Silver Rupee, Khambayat Mint, AH 1119 / RY Ahd, Zafar word at top divider on rev. Very Rare. Note : The REV has the word  Zafar ظفر (victorious)  vs the standard 'maimanat' indicating victory of Shah Alam over his brother Azam Shah. Aurangzeb died 3 March 1707; AH1119 starts April 4 1707; Azam Shah killed at Jajau (between Gwalior & Agra) on 20 June 1707. The so called "Willed Plan" of leaving North India to Moazzam, Central India to Azam and South India (especially centered at Hyderabad & Bijapur) to Kam Bakhsh did not work out. The story that such a will was under the pillow of Alamgir MAY BE TRUE , because he issued orders just before his death, for Azam to move and take over Malwa, and Kam Bakhsh to take over Bijapur, but left Moazzam Bahadur stay put. These two princes had "Physically moved on these orders". Hence Khambayet issue is correct, issued after June 1707, but still in AH 1119. https://indiannumismaticgalle...
