Shah Jahan, Silver Rupee, 11.3g, 24.5mm, Allahabad, AH 1043 RY 6

Superb large flan with Original lustre and complete die impressions. The AH is split as 10 at bottom & 43 at right quadrant on Obv that is quite an unusual variety.

You are right, Mitresh. Great coin. I found the date, but not the regnal year.

The RY is at 3 O'clock position on the right image touching the inner square.
