Obv: Farsi hemistich Shah Noor al-Din Jahangir ibn Akbar Badshah. Rev: Farsi hemistich Rooye Zar ra Sakhat Noorani ba-Rang Mihr wa Mah, with AH date and mint name below.
About extremely fine, Extremely rare.
A coin of exceptional pedigree - this very specimen is the plate coin illustrated in the standard reference by Andrew Liddle, Coins of Jahangir.
Immediately after his accession, Jahangir increased the weight of his coins by 20%. Some coins were struck before the formal coronation, as suggested by the mention of the RY as '1' rather than 'Ahd'. Akbarnagar is a very rare mint for the 20% heavy coins and this coin, dated AH 1015, is the earliest known.
