Haidarabad feudatory state - Nawabs of Kalyani - gold mohur, struck with initial of Nawab Sayyid Shah Khair al-Din Hussain Khan Bahadur (d.1822), Kalyan mint, 11.04g. Obv: Mint-name, letter Khe and a roaring tiger facing right. Rev: The Kalima or Islamic profession of faith.
Light marks, Extremely fine, Exceedingly rare.
The handsome issues of Kalyani were struck for a short while in early 19th century, probably to celebrate the Nawab's wedding to Sahibzadi Bakhatwar Begum, the granddaughter of Nizam ul-Mulk Safa Jah I. Their design is unusual - without the mention of the Mughal emperor and featuring the Kalima instead.
