Note: This exceptional commemorative rupee, steeped in history and grandeur, is believed to have been struck to celebrate the Mughal victory at the Battle of Roshangarh in March 1615, a pivotal event during Emperor Jahangir’s reign. This clash saw Jahangir’s forces triumph over the combined might of the Deccani Sultanates of Ahmadnagar, Bijapur, and Golconda, who had united to challenge Mughal supremacy. Despite facing odds, the Mughal forces secured a resounding victory, cementing their influence over the Deccan plateau and marking a turning point in the empire’s expansion.

Struck in Ajmer, the coin bears a poetic Persian couplet that proclaims, "In Ajmer, (was) struck the stamp of victory on gold, (by) King of kings Jahangir (the son of) King Akbar," encapsulating the triumph in a regal ode. The artistry and historical significance of this coin make it one of the most important pieces in Jahangir’s illustrious coinage, a testament to the Mughal Empire’s grandeur and enduring legacy.
