Aurangzeb. Rupee Mint: AkbarNagar, AH 1116, RY 49, Badr-e- munir Couplet

Common mint of Aurangzeb but the area above the mint looks very uncommon to me. I checked all the coins of Zeno with Akbarabad mint.

Well, Akbarabad mint had the coins with the square area till quite late in to the reign Also, the mint name on the normal types, issued qute late in to Aurangzebs reign were having the mint name at the top on the reverse. Try to look at Akbarnagar...............

The style of 'Ka' in Akbarnagar and Akbarabad is very different. This one resembles to Akbarabad.

Please read the entire discussion. The mint is Akbarnagar as confirmed by Mr Jan Lingen.

What about the couplet? On Akbarnagar coins I think couplet is mihr munir instead of Badre munir.

Please check the coin in the link above. Exactly the same couplet. The earlier issues with the RY in the seen of the Julus were Mihr Munir legend. All these later issues (after RY 45 or so) have this same Badr Munir couplet.

Thanks Amit . Found the match.

The mint, I presume is Akbarnagar and not Lucknow or Akbarabad.
Nevertheless on ZENO is another identical coin also attributed to Lucknow, but this is identical to the above coin and should be attributed to Akbarnagar.

Thank you Oesho for the correction.
