INDIA, Mughal Empire. Shihab al-Din Muhammad Shah Jahan. AH 1037-1068 / AD 1627-1658. AV Mohur (20mm, 10.97 g, 5h). Dar al-Khalifat Agra mint. Dually dated AH 1038 and RY ahd (31 August 1628 – 18 January/13 February 1629). Shahāda, mint formula, and AH date on floral background / Couplet citing Shah Jahan. BM –; IMC (Wright) –; Hull 1577; KM 254.1; Peus 423, lot 734 (same dies, but in later die state). Toned, traces of underlying luster. Good VF. Carefully struck and very rare, especially in this state of preservation.

In the second year of the reign of Shah Jahan (1038h) the mint name of Agra was changed to Akbarabad. This coin with the mint name of Agra on one side bears the regnal year 1 and, on the other, the date 1038h, making it the final issue before the mint name was changed. Carefully struck on a full flan from dies of fine style, it is possibly a presentation piece.

The final winners of all Triton XXIV lots will be determined during the live online sale that will be held on 19-20 January 2021. This lot is in Session Four, which begins 20 January 2021 at 2 PM ET.
