Very fine+, exceedingly rare. Aurangzeb stopped the use of Kalima on his coins as he thought it would be ‘defiled’ in the hands of non-believers as the coins circulated. This issue marks a momentary reappearance of the Islamic profession of faith on Mughal coins. Coins in this type were struck at Shahjahanabad and Murshidabad.
