Aurangzeb (1658-1707 AD) - silver rupee, Tirchanapali Mint, AH 1106/RY 39, KM 300.115, 11.49g.

Test punch on edge, Very fine, Extremely rare.

Tirchanapali' on the coin is modern Tiruchchirappalli. Extremely rare Mughal style coins were struck bearing this mint-name after 1693 -94 when Mughal forces under Zulfiqar Khan, while pursuing a campaign against the Maratha Chhatrapati Rajaram, who was besieged at Gingee, threatened Queen Mangammal, the regent of the Nayaka kingdom of Madurai, whose capital at the time was based at Tiruchchirappalli. The queen warded off the Mughal danger by paying a tribute, some of which might have been paid in form of these coins which were struck to acknowledge her obeisance to the Mughals. The mint is the southernmost place to have struck Mughal coins.
