Extremely Rare Transitional Floral Rupee of Jahangir – AH 1020 / RY 6 | Agra Mint

This exceptional silver rupee of Emperor Jahangir was struck shortly after the discontinuation of the Sawai standard coinage—an experimental weight system briefly adopted by the Mughal emperor at select imperial mints, including the historically significant Agra Mint.

Dated AH 1020 / RY 6, this coin belongs to a fascinating transitional phase in Jahangir’s numismatic history. During this period, the emperor introduced coins featuring changing monthly motifs and distinct artistic patterns, many of which were short-lived and discontinued by RY 7. The present specimen features an intricate floral design—part of an experimental and aesthetically rich coinage series that saw limited circulation.These artistic variants are now exceedingly rare and highly sought-after, with only a handful known to exist in any grade. A similar example was recently hammered at ₹3,25,000 at a Leading Auction House in India, underlining the strong demand among discerning collectors. A rare opportunity to acquire a piece of Mughal numismatic artistry from a brief but innovative period in Jahangir's reign.
