Mughals
Auction Date: 02-02-2014
Silver
Jahangir (1605-1627 AD), Silver Rupee, Elichpur Mint, AH 101x, (mint-name off flan but discernible by the 'bird' designs on both sides), 11.45g, KM 141.5.
Extremely Fine, Extremely Rare.
The birds on both sides of this coin are locked in 'hunt' in terms of design context. The falcon on the obverse swoops, with his wings close to his body to prey on the quail, shown cowering among the letters on the reverse. The spread-out talons of the falcon, ready to grasp the quail, are very clearly shown under his belly. The design might have had a connotation with Mughal campaigns against the Nizam Shahi Sultanate.
