Jahangir (AH 1014-1037/1605-1627 AD), Kabul Mint, Silver ½ Rupee (Sultani), AH 1015/ Sana 1 RY, Month Amardad (Leo), Obv: Arabic legend The Kalima Shahada at the top in two lines, "zarb Kabul" completely visible, within a dotted border, Rev: Persian legend “Noor ud din Muhammad Jahangir Badshah Ghazi” with Hijri year 1015 & sana 1 RY, with the month "Amardad" at the bottom within a dotted border, 6.7g, 18.66mm, (Unpublished), dotted border partially visible, superb quality, about extremely fine, Exceedingly Rare.

Note: A fascinating aspect of Jahangir's reign was his experimentation with coins. In addition to their high quality, weight standards, and intricate designs, coins from his period are known in a variety of denominations with interesting names. For heavyweight silver half rupees of high purity, the Sultani denomination was used.

The Tuzuk-e-Jahangiri records the following names for fractional denominations; Gold coins of half tola as 'Nurani', meaning 'the light' and quarter tola as 'Riwazi'. The silver coins (sikkas) of 10 tolas were named 'Kaukab-i-bakht', meaning 'star of good luck', 5 tolas as 'Kaukab-i-sa'd' meaning 'star of auspiciousness', 1 tola as 'Jahangiri', and 'Half Jahangiri as Sultani' meaning 'The Royal'.

As can be seen on this coin, it bears the Persian month of 'Amardad' clearly. In light of the clear date AH1015 / RY1, it can be assumed that it was struck between 13 July - 13 August in 1606. It is a completely new type bearing the Elahi month. An important rarity of the Mughal coins was offered for the first time at auction.

The first known Sultani coin to have Ilahi Month on it!
