Moghul Empire – Shāh Jahān – Golkonda Mint, Gold, Linear/Linear

AH1067 was the second instance the Qutb Shahis consented to strike coins in the name of Shahjahan. This time they were pressed into submission by Aurangzeb who was the Viceroy of Deccan and pursued a campaign against the combined armies of Adil Shahi and Qutb Shahi forces. Soon afterwards, Shahjahan was deposed by him, initiating the RY Ahd coins in the name of Aurangzeb at Golkonda. Unlike the 1045 issues, these are clearly manufactured locally and have a distinctly non-Mughal calligraphy.(from Shailen Bhandare)
