This specimen was lot 1135 in CNG sale Triton XXVII (New York, January 2024), where it sold for $18,375. The catalog description[1] noted, "INDIA, Mughal Empire. Nur al-Din Muhammad Jahangir. AH 1014-1037 / AD 1605-1627. AV Square Mohur. Sawai (Heavy) issue. Lahore mint. Dually dated AH 1015 and RY 2 (1607). ruya zar ra sakht noorani mihr-o-mah; AH date to left / shah nur al-din jahangir ebn akbar padshah RY date above Akbar. In NGC encapsulation 6865298-001, graded XF Details, rev damage. Schroff mark. Very rare.
This handsome coin was struck as a presentation piece. Jahangir issued both round and square heavy mohurs during the early years of his reign, before they were replaced by standard weight issues during his sixth year. The couplet on the obverse translates as ‘He made the face of money to shine with the hues of sun and moon.’"
This type was struck years 1-3. Friedberg notes several square mohurs for Jahangir. Fr-753, shown here, has the Persian couplet "ruya zar ra sakht noorani mihr-o-mah". A later issue, Fr-756, has a different couplet and was heavier (13.55-13.75 g). The last, Fr-776a, has an Ilahi date and was struck to the standard weight (10.8-10.9 g). While none are common, they do not command the attention or the price of Jahangir's zodiac series (Fr-762 thru Fr-773).
