Description

Appealing Heavy Mohur with Punchmarked Date
INDIA. Mughal Empire. Heavy Mohur, IE 30 (1585/6). Akbar. ABOUT UNCIRCULATED Details. Test Marks.
Fr-730F; KM-119A.2; Liddle-G-27. Weight: 11.99 gms. An EXTREMELY RARE emission of Akbar from the thirtieth year of his reign, this anonymous Mohur delivers an enchanting story to match the splendid beauty of the piece. Akbar introduced the Ilahi style coinage in the 30th year of his reign, and this piece represents amongst the earliest Ilahi style coinage produced. The style is beautiful, with the Ilhai inscription rendered with particular attractivity. The actual handling is limited, with only light wear on the surfaces, and a few punches on the edge. The "30" countermark is bold, and offers an intriguing history as a post mint correction to the oversight of not playing the Ilhai era date that would be somewhat common on Akbar's later coinage. For completeness, we note that both NGC and PCGS have declined to encapsulate this example, NGC citing altered surfaces and PCGS for ineligible type. Nevertheless, we believe this to be a genuine representative from the reign of Akbar, and this Mohur offers the chance for any advanced collector of Mughal coinage to add to their holdings.

日期吸引帶戳印莫胡爾
1585/6年印度1莫胡爾。
重量:11.99克。這枚阿克巴大帝統治第三十年的莫卧兒金幣極為罕見,在誘人品相下記載了一段迷人歷史。阿克巴大帝在其統治的第30年引入了伊拉希風格的鑄幣,這枚錢幣是早期伊拉希風格鑄幣的代表作之一。這種風格精美絕倫,伊拉希銘文尤為引人注目。這枚錢幣實際流通痕迹有限,表面僅有輕微的磨損,幣緣有幾個戳記。"30"字樣的加蓋清晰可見,此加蓋源於在鑄造後為彌補沒有標明伊拉希紀年日期的疏忽而後來加上,而伊拉希紀年日期在阿克巴後期的鑄幣中很常見,耐人尋味。需要說明的是,NGC和PCGS都拒絕對這枚錢幣進行評級,NGC認為其幣面經過改動,而PCGS則認為其類型不符合評級標準。儘管如此,我們相信這是阿克巴統治時期的真品,對於任何莫卧兒王朝錢幣的高級收藏家來說,均屬絕佳的收藏機會。

Estimate: $10000.00 - $15000.00
