Mughal, Jahangir (AH 1014-1037, 1605-1628 AD), Silver Square Rupee, 10.60 gms, 21.28 mm, Agra Mint (fully visible at bottom on rev), Ilahi type, Month Aban (Scorpio), AH 1021, RY 7, This rare ornamental square rupee, attributed to the month of Aban, represents the final known type in Jahangir's magnificent ornamental coin series, which concluded in Regnal Year 7. After this point, ornamental issues were discontinued, and mints transitioned to striking only the standard coin types. While it remains uncertain whether Aban was indeed the final month in which these artistic issues were produced, this particular specimen stands out its highly unusual scalloped border on both obverse and reverse-a design element not seen on other coins of the series. This exact ornamental pattern is not recorded in any major numismatic publication. making it a significant opportunity for collectors of Mughal numismatics, similar to Zeno # 368508, KM # 147.1, test mark on both side overall fine to very fine, very rare.
