This specimen was lot 2507 in Sincona sale 77 (Zürich, May 2022), where it sold for 950 CHF (about US$1,153 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,
"INDIA | Mughal Empire. Aziz al-Din Alamgir II, 1167-1173 H. (1754-1759). Mohur Year 3 (1169 H.), Dar al-khilafa Shahjahanabad. NGC MS63. Überdurchschnittliche Erhaltung. (Extraordinary condition.)"
The Mughal Empire stretched over most of India in the early eighteenth century and numerous mints struck gold mohurs for the emperor. 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. This type was struck at Shahjahanabad AH 1168-1169 only.
