Nizams of Hyderabad - silver Chulnee rupee, Medak mint (partly seen), in the name of Alamgir II, unpublished in KM, 11.02g. Obv: Persian couplet Sikka zad dar Jahan chu Mihr Muneer/Sahib Qiran Thani Badshah Alamgir visible in parts. Rev: Formulaic 'Julus' legend with AH date next to 'Julus' and mint-name in the last line.
Fine, Rare.
Medak was a local mint that operated for a short time 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.
