Shah Jahan, Gold Mohur, 10.91g, Aurangnagar Mint, AH 1048, central inscription within square, knots at corners on both sides, Mint name on left margin on obv. Extremely fine, historically significant and a great rarity. ‘Aurangnagar’ was the name given by Aurangzeb to the town of Mulher with its adjoining hill fort, presently located in Nashik district of Maharashtra, which was the capital of the small Rajput kingdom of Baglana, strategically located on the trade route between Surat and the Deccan. Aurangzeb, while in office as the viceroy of Deccan under his father the Emperor Shahjahan aggressively pursued a campaign against the rebellion of ShahajiBhonsle who had resurrected the Deccani Sultanate of Nizamshahi by elevating a boy prince to the throne to create a bulwark against Mughal expansion. In late 1637, the Mughal armies attacked Baglana with a view to separate the state from attempts of Shahaji to form an anti-Mughal alliance. Bahirji, the king of Baglana was defeated and the kingdom was annexed to the Mughal province of Khandesh. The conquest was complete with Bahirji accepting Mughal sovereignty in March 1638, and agreeing to convert to Islam. The coin is dated AH1048, which begins on 15 May 1658, indicating it was struck soon after the conquest. It is exceedingly rare, with only 3-4 other pieces known to survive, with perhaps one or two in private hands.
