Good very fine, Extremely rare.

Since the Ilahi months were solar months and corresponded with the solar ecliptic (an imaginary line in the sky that marks the annual path of the sun), each Zodiac sign was accompanied with a sunburst backdrop, either a full circle or a semicircle. This silver rupee is a die-identical piece with the gold mohur Zeno 161344.

A mention in the 'Tuzuq-i Jahangiri', the memoirs of emperor Jahangir for the 14th regnal year records that he had an idea that the Zodiacal sun sign representing every solar Ilahi month should be depicted on his coins, rather than just an inscribed mention of it. This innovation prompted the famous Zodiacal series of Jahangir's coinage, often considered the Zenith of Mughal Numismatics in terms of its artistic beauty and historicity, not to mention its lure to the connoisseur collectors of Mughal coins.

Zodiacal coins were struck as rupees and mohurs. While Agra predominates as a mint for known gold mohurs, rupees are most commonly known for Ahmadabad. Rupees of Agra, in comparison, are much rare - sometimes even more so than the mohurs.
