Mughal, Babur (AH 932-937, 1526-1530 AD), Copper Falus, 8.98 gms, Dar-al-Zarb Qila Agra Mint, AH 937, Obv. Fi Tarikh 937, Rev. dar al zarb qila Agra, very fine+, very rare.
Note: Babur’s falus of date AH 937 are considerably much rarer than of date AH936.
The intense strain of continuous warfare and managing the empire took a toll on Babur’s health. He fell ill and died in Agra on 6 Jumada al-awwal, AH 937 (December 1530). His death itself marked a significant, non-peaceful event, as it triggered a period of succession struggles.
These particular Falus were struck in this brief & chaotic period of 5 months of AH 937.
