INDIA. Mughal Kings. Qutb al-Din Shah Alam I Bahadur. 1707-1712. AV Mohur (10.84 gm). Lahore mint. Dated AH 1124, regnal year 6 (1712 AD). Titles of Shah Alam with date / Mint and regnal year; additional number 12 in field. MWI -; cf. KM 354.2; Wright -. Good VF. ($400)

The additional number 12 on the reverse is unrecorded, and its meaning is unknown. It is an intriguing, but unlikely, possibility that someone in remote Lahore placed a Christian date ([17]12) on a Mughal mohur from that mint.
