Mughals
Auction Date: 02-02-2014
Silver
Aurangzeb (1658-1707 AD), Silver Rupee, …Sam Mint, no AH/RY visible, 11.20g.
Very Fine+, Very Rare.
No coins of this enigmatic mint have yet turned up revealing the portion of the mint-name to the right of the word …sam. But the date and RY details known from other specimens suggest that they match closely with a Mughal campaign in Assam, so in all probability these coins bear the mint-name 'Asam' and struck as a tribute issue by the Ahom Kingdom to placate the Mughal army and its general Mir Jumla'a who was leading it.
