Muhammad Shah, 1/32 Rupee Mint:Khujista Bunyad (Aurangabad), AH1157/RY27

[asm]

A long time back, Richie had requested me to upload pictures of Fractional Mughal Rupees........... These are very rarely come across......

I had uploaded a 1/16th Rupee of Muhammad Shah - Burhanpur Mint which was from my own collection. Here I take the opportunity to upload the image of a 1/32 Rupee of Muhammad Shah.......... I hope I am correct as the coin shows only Muhammad on one side.......

PS: This is not my coin but I saw it this morning and thought of sharing it.......

Dear Amit,
 The attribution is correct. Khujista Bunyad (Aurangabad). The 1/32 pieces of this mint are for one reason or the other not that rare. They are offered from time to time, but this specimen is better than most others as it may be dated AH1157/Ry.27.
The regnal year can be observed on the left image and the hijri date on the right image.

Thanks a lot Oesho......... I will inform the person who had the coin the details and I am sure he would be very happy.

I am surprised at the amount of information that is there on this tiny coin........... It is difficult to get so much out of quite a few rupees.......

Below the specimen from my collection which shows the complete date 1157, but is missing the regnal year.

An excellent coin showing sharp features.
