Alamgir II (1754-1759 AD), Silver Rupee, Medak Mint, AH 116x, 11.13g. Obv: Farsi couplet Sikka zad dar Jahan (chu) Mihr Muneer/Sahib Qiran Thani Badshah Alamgir. Rev: Formulaic 'Julus' legend with mint-name in the last line.
Very Fine, Extremely Rare.
Medak was a local mint run during the chaos resulting out of succession disputes in the court of the Nizam in the 1750s. The coin has a different couplet for Alamgir II, found only on Dilshadabad and Imtiyazgarh mints apart from Medak, which resonates with the couplet of Aurangzeb, the emperor's forefather and namesake. Issued under the authority of Nizams of Hyderabad.
