MUGHAL: Shah Alam Bahadur, 1707-1712, AR heavy weight rupee (12.02g), Azimabad, AH1123 year 5, KM-349.2, Zeno-112477 (this piece), struck to a standard that was approximately 1/24 heavier than the standard rupee, VF, RR. 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, as on this piece. 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 He shows that at least 10 mints produced these, all very rare, and was mandated by an Imperial Farman that was retracted very shortly afterwards.
