An attractive example exhibiting sharply rendered details, struck in high relief and without any test-mark.
About uncirculated, Extremely rare.
Murad Bakhsh declared his bid to succeed his ailing father Shahjahan in Gujarat. The three principal mints of the province - Surat, Ahmadabad and Khambayat - struck coins in his name. While the more easily available coins of the 'square areas' type have the legend 'Muhammad Murad Bakhsh', some extremely rare issues from Ahmadabad and Khambayat have only 'Murad Bakhsh'. This is a coin of this variety.
