MUGHAL: Shah Alam Bahadur, 1707-1712, AR heavy rupee (11.71g), Tatta, AH1124 year 6, KM-—, Zeno-192833, special issue with both sides in a hexagonal border, harshly cleaned, VF, RR, ex M.H. Mirza Collection.

The heavy rupees of Shah Alam Bahadur were struck at a few mints, principally in AH1123 with regnal year 5, more rarely 1123 year 6, plus a very few examples of 1122 year 4 and 1122 year 5, and only 1122 year 5 for Tatta. The analysis of these heavy rupees by Alan Deshazo was published in the ONS Journal #220 (summer 2014). He shows that at least 10 mints produced these, all very rare, and production was mandated by an Imperial Farman that was retracted very shortly afterwards.
