Watch List notes:

MUGHAL: Shah Jahan I, 1628-1658, AR rupee (11.54g), Junagadh, AH1071, KM-235.12, posthumous issue, superb strike, choice EF to About Unc, RRR. Shah Jahan was deposed on 17 Ramadan AH1068 (8 June 1658), and kept in prison thereafter, until his death eight years later. Three of his sons claimed the throne upon his deposition, Murad Bakhsh, who was deposed and arrested a few weeks later, Shah Shuja, who held out for a few months and eventually joined the 3rd brother, Aurangzeb, who ascended the throne 21 July 1658. Because the governors at Junagadh refused to recognize Aurangzeb until late in AH1071, the local mint apparently continued to strike coins in the name of Shah Jahan until some point in 1071, as evidenced by this piece. From 1071 onwards, rupees were struck at Junagadh in the name of Aurangzeb, but retained a special local design until the 31st year of Aurangzeb's reign, after which they adopted the standard designs of Aurangzeb's coinage.

Estimate: 500- 600 USD
