Madras Mint – Early Coinages – Moghul System – Gold

Mohur – Alamgir II 1754 to 1759 – Mint Name: Arcot

Mohurs of Alamgir II with the Arcot mint name are known but are extremely rare. The question of whether the coins were actually issued from the mint at Madras as opposed to another mint (e.g. Arcot itself) is one that has not been satisfactorily answered. Wiggins’ argument is rather weak.
