Many Zodiacal coins show reuse of dies from one year to the next, having preserved the last die in use for a month if it had survived the manufacturing process. The obverse of this coin, shows signs that the RY is re-engraved from 14 to 15, while the reverse bears AH 1029. Cancer represents the third month of Tir in the Ilahi solar calendar.

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.
