Historical Significance: This silver Rupee was minted during the reign of Nasir-ud-Din Muhammad Shah, also known as “Muhammad Shah Rangila.” His reign marked a significant period of late Mughal history. The coin features the classic Mughal style of horizontal dividers with flowing Persian calligraphy, representing the height of 18th-century imperial coinage.

-
Reverse: Contains the mint name and the regnal year. The calligraphy is deep and well-centered for a hand-struck coin of this era.

Condition & Presentation:
-
State: Very Fine (VF) condition with high relief in the lettering and a beautiful, natural luster.

Why Collect This Piece? Unlike modern uniform coins, these Mughal rupees were struck by hand with a hammer and die. This ensures that no two coins are exactly alike. It is a tangible artifact from the legendary “Peacock Throne” era, perfect for history enthusiasts or investors in precious metal antiquities.
