From Mitresh Singh

Don’t know if this is in the right place. He says:

The Bada Bar (also referred to as Hamesha or Abre Ruye) couplet on the coin reads:

Hamesha Bad Abre Ruye Sikka-e-Lahore...
Ze Naame Shah-e-Jahangir, Shah Akbar Noor

"On the coin of Lahore may there ever be;
Light, by the name of Shah Jahangir, Shah Akbar's (son)"

Photo from Jan Lingen. Nur al-Din Muhammad Jahangir. (AH1014-1037/AD1605-1627). AR Heavy Rupee (Sawai) (21 x 21 mm, 14.21 gm). Lahore mint. Dated AH 1020, regnal year 6, month Ardibihisht (Zodiac sign Taurus)
Name and titles of Jahangir, Ry. / Ilahi month mint and date. Obv. and rev. form a poetic couplet incorporating the Ilahi month. Couplet changed monthly.
Ref.: KM#160.2; PMC#1103.
Jahangir experimented with increasing the weight of the silver rupee, striking 20% heavier pieces called “jahangiri”, and 25% heavier pieces called "sawai”. The Sawai standard was abolished on the 11th of Ardibihisht AH1020. This rupee, therefore, was struck only during the first 10 days of the month Ardibishsht. After this date (with a few rare exception) only coins of the rupee standard (11.2 –11.5 gm) and its fractions were produced

This type was first published by Framji J. Thanawala in Numismatic Supplement V., p.125-127 (1904). The legend as read by Mr. Thanawala, was partly corrected by H.Nelson Wright in an editorially note at the end. R.B. Whitehead published a similar rupee from the Cabinet of the American Numismatic Society in the Numismatic Chronicle, Fifth Series, vol. III (1923), “Some Notable coins of the Mughal Emperors of India, part I”. Pl. VIII #117. The above coin is so far the third known specimen, with this particular couplet.
