Durrani. Taimur Shah (as Sultan) gold Mohur AH (120)3 Year 18 (1805/6) UNC Detail (Damage) PCGS, Dera mint, cf. KM328 (rupee), A-3099, Whitehead-Unl. Extremely rare to be sure, and unfortunately quite badly misattributed on the holder, this exquisitely designed mohur appears to be undocumented for this mint (the other Dera mohurs listed in the SCWC quite different in form), though it matches the layout of contemporary rupees. Apart from a small drill mark above the reverse, the piece at hand appears highly pristine and very near choice. For reference, CNG sold a similar type, though of a different date, for $1600 in their October 2015 Auction #100 (lot 545).
