I have rupees of several years. They are all coarsely but deeply 
cut. A round mohur struck at Ahmadabad is given by Marsden. I 
obtained a similar one for Government last year, but the years were 
different. Marsden’s PI. xli, fig. DCCCLXXI, has 14 and 1028. The 
couplet is as follows :— 
t - t' ■- * *> 
Obv.

Rev. o j

|♦ Y a 
i. e., 1 Oh God, may the coin of Ahmadabad be current in the East 
e 
and the West as long as the world exists. 1028 A. H., year 14.’ 
A small Dehli mohur in my cabinet has this couplet:— 
Obv. j fJ* jj r |

Rev. oA* y «i) | ♦ra 
i. e., 1 Jahangir Shah stamped the coin of triumph and victory at 
Dehli through the abundance of the favour of God.’ 
My cabinet furnishes another Ahmadabad rupee of great beauty. 
Years are 12 and 1027. The couplet is :— 
Obv. f) 
Rev. U*^j {* rv \T ***• ' 
i. e., 1 May this gold (coin) be always current in the seven climes 
of the world through the impression of the name of Jahangir Shah, 
the monarch of the world. Stamped at Ahmadabad, 1027, year 12.’ 
I have also a poor one without years and with only portions of the 
couplet on it. 
The town of Mandu in the 12th year of Jahangir, i. e., in 1026 A. H., 
had mohurs struck in it with the following bait, which I fail to ar¬ 
range properly : — 
Obv. 8^ (*^3 j*** i*r 
Rev. 8^° j j\* JjS jbi 1 f 
i. e., 1 May the coin of Mandu through the name of Jahangir, give 
light to the world like the sun and the moon. 1026, year 12.’ 
Ajmir figures largely as a mint in Jahangir’s time. Here is another 
couplet from a mohur of that mint:— 
Obv. A) 
Rev. jiJ\ ^ jyi jfiA ff f • r d 
i. e., “ The king Nuru-d-din Jahangir, son of Akbar Sluih, the 
defender of the faith, stamped this coin on gold at Ajmir, 1025, year 11.’
