MUGHAL: Jahangir, 1605-1628, AV zodiac mohur (10.96g), Agra, AH1030 year 16, KM-180.1, Aries (ram), rising sun behind, couple minor scratches and edge nicks, otherwise lovely bold strike, EF, RR. For five years, AH1028-1033, the Agra mint struck monthly zodiac mohurs, and it is likely that each of the twelve zodiacs were struck each year. Aries is one of the rarest, and the British Museum catalog lists only two years, AH1028 and 1030. A similar coin dated AH1028 from the Dr. Lawrence A. Adams collection sold in Classical Numismatic Group, Triton XIX Auction, Lot 2399 for $275,000. This is the first example of this rare date and type we know of offered in public sale.
Estimate: 200,000-220,000 GBP
