Hyderabad Feudatory State - Nawabs of Kalyani, gold mohur, struck with initial of Nawab Sayyid Shah Khair al-Din Hussain Khan Bahadur (d.1822), Kalyan mint, AH 1226, KM 9, 11.07g. Obv: Mint-name, letter Khe and a roaring tiger facing right. Rev: The Kalima or Islamic profession of faith.
A beautiful and highly appealing specimen, showing a remarkable and near full depiction of tiger, with lustrous high relief striking and an excellent eye appeal, making it a highly desirable coin.
Extremely fine, Exceedingly rare.
The handsome issues of Kalyani were struck for a short while in early 19th century, probably to celebrate the Nawab's wedding to Sahibzadi Bakhatwar Begum, the granddaughter of Nizam ul-Mulk Safa Jah I. Their design is unusual - without the mention of the Mughal emperor and featuring the Kalima instead.
A similar specimen was sold in our auction 43 (2022), Lot no. 504 at hammer Rs.17,11,000.
