Jahangir (1605-1627 AD), Silver Rupee of Khair ? Mint (or a mintless issue), AH 102x, 11.45g. Obv: Farsi hemistich Sikka-i-zarzadra'ijdarkhair-i-Zill-ilah. Rev: Farsi hemistich Shah Noor al-din Jahangir ibn Akbar Badshah.
Extremely Fine, Extremely Rare.
A coin bearing this couplet for Jahangir remains hitherto unknown. The reading proposed above is tentative and it is possible that the word read as 'Khair' could well be the name of the mint. Stylistically the coin is similar to issues of Akbarnagar mint, so it is plausible that it was minted in Bengal.
