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

Shailen wrote: I wasn't aware of the
discussion on 'Zeno' 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.
