Madras Mint – Early Coinages – Moghul System – Gold

Mohur – Aurangzeb Alamgir 1658-1707 – Mint Name: Chinapatan

The author is not convinced about the mint of issue of the coin illustrated by Pridmore, who took the picture from a book but did not give a reference. The coin looks peculiar, the date is suspect and the mint name is not clear. More recently another example has become available and this is illustrated in the present catalogue.
