Farrukhsiyar (1712-1719 AD) - silver rupee, Murtazabad mint, 'Bahr-o-Bar' couplet, AH 1126/RY 3, KM 377.79 (date unlisted), Zeno #148036, 11.40g. Obv: Persian legend sikka zad az fazl-e-haq bar sim-o-zar badshahe bahr-o-bar Farrukhsiyar. Rev: Persian legend Jalus Maimanat Manus with mint-name and RY. The couplet reads as: “By the Grace of the god, King Farrukhsiyar, the Monarch of Sea and Land, struck coin in silver and gold.”
A well preserved coin, struck in high relief, usual shroff marks on edge.
About extremely fine, Exceedingly rare.
Apparently, no examples were found in the sales archives, with only one specimen recorded on Zeno.
Murtazabad was the Islamic alias of Miraj, a strategic stronghold in South Maharashtra. This is probably the earliest issue from the mint - prompted most likely by heightened military activity between various Maratha leaders and remnants of Mughal power, represented by Yasin Khan the faujdar of Baramati.
