Different marks may appear on obverse. Also has the words 12 masha on
reverse. Exact meaning is not clear but see discussion on Zeno. Two different
reverses. See Photos |

till Jan Lingen posted the link yesterday. A comparison of coin #79253 shown
there and those I uploaded above, including your Mohur, makes the
reading of the word 'Masah' pretty clear and it is
evident
that this word qualifies the '12'. I am therefore inclined to think that the discussion
about the Emperor's conversion to Shi'ism is not really relevant to the subject because all this leaves out
the word 'Masa' completely out of context. With the same logic, I would not
include the SAB coins in the same league as the Shahjahan issues with only '12'
which Jan has mentioned above.
The Jahandar Shah
coins I have uploaded since show that the reverse arrangement is also not
confined to SAB issues alone, so they are not 'special' strikes. The
arrangement and the occurrence of the words '12 Masa' in the legend must
therefore be regarded as a peculiarity in time and space - no doubt prompted by
some anxiety over the weight and/or purity of coinage at Lahore in the
concluding years of SAB's reign.
