This specimen was lot 30928 in Heritage sale 3081 (New York, January 2020), where it sold for $2,400. The catalog description[1] noted, "India: Mughal Empire. Shah Jahan gold Mohur AH 1062 Year 26 (1651/2) MS65 NGC, Akbarabad mint. A magnificent and nearly unparalleled example of this king's beloved gold coinage, executed in a characteristic high relief with hardly a stray mark and satiny recessed fields. Ex. CNG Auction 93 (22 May 2013, Lot 1586) (Sold with old lot tag)." This type was struck years 6-28 at Akbarabad and Daulatabad. The Mughal Empire dominated India during the seventeenth century but broke up in the eighteenth century under external attack, Hindu rebellion and civil war. This collapse allowed European colonizers entry into the subcontinent and eventual British control. The emperor Shah Jahan is today remembered for erecting the Taj Mahal for his wife.
