The date
on this unique coin is not quite clear but it could be AH1062/RY27 or
AH1063/RY27. Around this time the most significant event that took place was
the completion of the Taj Mahal, although that probably has little impact on
Bengal, where this coin was struck. At this time, the governor of Bengal was
Shah Shuja'a, the second son of the emperor and the years around 1653 were
marked by the warming up of the Mughals to other Europeans like the English
and the Dutch, to counter the influence of the Portuguese. The first English
and Dutch factories in Bengal, at Hooghly and Chinsura, respectively were
given the imperial sanction at this time. (from Zeno) |
