Details

Ancient Mughal Empire yellow gold coin set in 18K yellow gold with double-set emerald and sapphire cabochons.

Handmade in Rome.

History

This Gold Mohur was issued during the reign of Emperor Aurangzeb (1618-1707), the sixth Mughal emperor of India and a notable patron of culture, particularly calligraphy, as exemplified on the coin.

Under Aurangzeb's exceptionally long rule, the Mughal Empire reached its zenith, reaching its greatest extent with territory spanning nearly the entirety of the Indian subcontinent. This marked him as the last, most powerful sovereign of the crown.

This gold Mohur, minted in Burhanpur, features on its obverse side a Persian legend: “Sikka Zad Dar Jahan Chu Mihr-e-munir Badshah Aurangzeb Alamgir” with the Hijri date 1108. The reverse side shows the Julus formula with the regnal year '41' in the middle and the mint name at the bottom. Aurangzeb died in 1707 AD, leaving behind a vast empire renowned for its cultural, religious, and military achievements.

Care

Gold coins, unlike silver or bronze, do not develop a patina or tone over time due to the metal's natural resistance to corrosion and oxidation. Gold's inherent lustre and colour remain stable, ensuring that the coin's details are preserved just as they were when first struck. This enduring quality of gold adds to its timeless beauty and the historical significance of each piece. To ensure the longevity of your jewellery, please handle it with care and store it safely to prevent scratches or damage.
