Mughal era coins minted during power struggles go for high bids in auction

In one of the highest bids received for a gold coin in the post-pandemic times, a 10.9 gm gold mohur minted at Dar-uz-Zafar mint, Bijapur, by Kam Baksh, went for a whopping ₹58 lakh in Bengaluru.

In another high-priced auction, a Khurram rebellion silver rupee coin has been sold for ₹22 lakh, the highest for a silver coin in recent years. Weighing 11.20 gm, the rebellion silver coin was minted in Kabul in 1627 C.E. (Hijri year 1037) in the name of Khurram, the pre-accession name of Shah Jahan.
