Notes
Probably the finest specimen known of this attractive and rare type. The Mughal historian Muhammad Hashim Khafi Khan records that the emperor Jahangir gave orders in AH 1020 (1611) for the issue of a new coin for presentation. The Emperor ordered that this new coin should be given to favourite Amirs or most devoted servants, and that they were to wear it respectfully on the sash of the turban or on the breast front as a life preserving amulet.
