Estimate :`55,000-65,000

The recent article of Dr. Pankaj Tandon in Numismatic Digest Vol 38 shows complete

comparative study on these coins and very much clears the doubt of Purugupta and

Chandragupta III being one and the same person. Now what important clarication he

clears is that why Purugupta have used the name Chandra on his coins? One possible

ustifying reason is that Purugupta wanting to wrap himself in the mantle of his

grandfathers glory. Because Chandragupta II also had done the same with his own

grandfather name. Given the precedent of one king taking the name of his grandfather,

it seems quite possible that Purugupta may have done the same especially if he felt

weak in the face of his powerful and heroic half-brother and felt that including his

glorious grandfathers name would emphasize his lineage and legitimacy over that of

his half-brother and would bring himself more glory.

Estimate :`20,000-25,000

The interesting point to note on this specimen is JHAR LEAF mark which usually

appears on the coins from the Rajputana states. The thought could be given to the point

that adoption of Jhar leaf is mainly because of showing the alliance between the Mughal

and Rajputs after Akbar got married to Heer Kunwari alias Jodha Bai. But bearing a

clear mint name Katak/Cuttack which is located on the other side again raises one more

question that why Jhar leaf in Katak mint coin.

A lovely specimen with deep bold strikes making this of an exceptional quality.

Zeenat-e-Zewar couplet says the stamp of Mandu received on coin resplendent

beauty to ornament abide from the name Shah Nooruddin son of Shah Akbar.

One of the highest rarity and an important coin of Jahangir, oered for the rst

time in auction.

History of Mandu - Mandu urf Shadiabad is presently located in Mandavgadhin

the Mandavarea of the Dhar district of Madhya Pradesh. The earliest reference to

Mandu is available in the Sanskrit inscription of 555 AD, which tells that Mandu was a

fortied city even in the 6th century BC.

It gained prominence in 10th & 11th century under the rule of Rajput Parmarswho

called it Mandavgarh, from whom the control was snatched by Khiljis in 1305 AD.

Then the famous ruler Allauddin Khiljinamed Mandav as Shadiabadwhich means

the city of happiness Anand Nagari. And towards the end of the 11th century it cameunder the sway of the Taranga kingdom.

Mandus Golden Age When Timur captured Delhi in the year 1401 AD, the Afghan

Dilawar Khan then governor of Malwa sets up his own little kingdom and the Ghuri

dynasty was established. His son Hoshang Shah, shifted the capital from Dhar to Mandu

and raised it to its greatest splendor. His son and third and last ruler of Ghuri dynasty,

Mohammed, ruled for just one year till his poisoning by the militaristic Mohammed

Khalji.

Mandu under the Mughals and Baz Bahadur Khan-In the year AH 941/ 1534 AD

Humayun attacked on one of his major rivals Bahadur Shahof Gujaratwho had

annexed the province to refuge in Mandu and Bahadur Shahwho was also aided by

Portuguese was defeated by Humayun. Humayun relaxed at Mandu for a while before

leaving.

Humayunlost the kingdom to the Mallu Khan who was an oce of the Khalji Dynasty.

Ten years in the continuation of the feuds and invasion followed resulting in the end of

Baz Bahadur Khan emerging on the top spot and ruled the area from AD 1555-1562.

Hemu Vikramaditya the Commander-in-Chief and Prime Minister of Suri Army

under the reign of Adil Shah Suriwas sent to quell the rebellions and Hemu attacked

on Mandu which led the eeing of Baz Bahadur Khan from Mandu. Hemu appointed

his governor and moved on to conquer other parts and in the meanwhile Baz Bahadur

again came back to Mandu.

In 1561 AD Akbarsarmy led by Adham Khanand Pir Muhammad Khanattacked

Malwaand defeated Baz Bahadurin the battle of Sarangpuron 29 March 1561. One

of the reasons for Adham Khans attack seems to be his love for Rani Roopmati.

Rani Roopmati poisoned herself to death on hearing the news of fall of Mandu.

Baz Bahadur ed to Khandesh. Akbarsoon recalled Adham Khanand made over

command to Pir Muhammad. Pir Muhammadattacked Khandeshand proceeded up

to Burhanpurbut he was defeated by a coalition of three powers: Miran Mubarak

Shah II of Khandesh, Tufal Khan of Berar and Baz Bahadur of Malwa. Pir

Muhammad died while retreating. The confederate army pursued the Mughals and

drove them out of Malwa. Baz Bahadur regained his kingdom for a short period.

Finally in the year 1562 AD, Akbar sent another troop of army led by Abdullah Khan,

the Uzbeg wo nally defeated Baz Bahadur Khan. This time he ed to Chittorin

Rajputana. Baz Bahadurremained a fugitive at a number of courts till he surrendered

in November, 1570 to Akbarat Nagaurand then he joined Akbars service.

Jahangirvisited Mandu in the 11th year of his reign and it is said with some sources

that the Jal Mahalin Mandu was built by Jahangirbut some reference shows that it

was built by Khaljisin 1534 AD and Jahangir only stayed here for six months

Zeno has two examples of early strike mohurs but none of them matches to

Another important feature is that this specimen is of similar type of those rupees

struck in the very early reign of Shah Jahan where he would have adopted the features

from those of rupees. Mohurs of Early Style are not cataloged in KM and probably

struck with the designs adopted from those of Jahangirs as this device clearly shows

the beautiful engraving and oral designs overall on the coin. Probably struck at Surat

impetuous and impatient, he wished to exclude his eldest brother Dara from the

throne. On the death of Shah Jahan, he plundered Surat and proclaimed himself

emperor, striking coins in his own name. He was persuaded by Aurangzeb

to join forces and partition the empire, but Aurangzeb eventually made him

prisoner and he was beheaded in 1661 A.D.

Exceptionally bold strike, very tough to get in such condition.

Ajmer was an important place as far back as the 10th and 11th centuries, when

it was the headquarters of the Tomara dynasty, later in the 12th century it sent

its representative Prithvi Raj to oppose Muhammad bin Sam. In the days of

Akbar it had acquired special sanctity as the burial place of the Muhammadan

saint Khwaja Muin-ud-din Chishti(RA).

Under Jahangir Ajmer became a mint for gold and silver also and from it

issued the well known gold coins portraying Jahangir seated with a wine cup

in his hand. Shahjahan must have coined very little money at Ajmer, for only

a single rupee is known but the mint was revived by Aurangzeb in or about the

30th year of his reign and was working regularly up to its close. The issues

were almost same of the rupee, gold coins from this mint are very rare. The

obverse contains the usual couplet mihr munir, on the reverse Ajmer is

Called Darul-khair-the abode of well being.

Agra was always the important place as it was the capital of Mughal Empire, later it

was renamed as Akbarabad for marking the glories of Akbar the great. The normal

mohurs and rupees of Shah Jahan II were struck at Akbarabad using the dies which

were broader than the planchet. But this specimen clearly shows the dotted border circle

around on both sides.

Ra-ud-Daula Shah Jahan IIwas the elder brother of Ra-ud-Darjatand wasone of several contenders who claimed the throne upon the death of Farrukhsiyar. He

was installed as emperor by the sayyid brothers who killed Ra-ud-Darjat.He was amere puppet and was removed shortly after his installation as emperor. He assumed the
