MUGHAL: Shah Shuja, 1657-1660, AR rupee (11.53g), Akbarnagar, AH1068 year one (ahad), KM-276.x, lovely bold strike, mint name largely off flan, but sufficiently visible, in left quadrant of obverse margin, choice VF to EF, RRR, ex Paul Stevens Collection. Shah Shuja was one of four sons of Shah Jahan I to claim the empire after their father's death. Shah Shuja was based in Rajmahal in Jharkhand state (then called Akbarnagar), but was soon defeated by Aurangzeb, fled toward Arakan, and eventually dying in Manipur in AH1071 (February 1661). His known coins are all dated AH1068, nearly all from the mint of Akbarnagar, all extremely rare.
