The coinage of the Mughal Empire occupies a unique position in the history of Indian numismatics. Endowed with the imagination and magnificence of Akbar and Jahangir that was fostered by the later Mughal emperors, Mughals presented a breathtaking example of coinage in terms of art and wealth. Here, in this session, we will see the endearing couplets which beautifully bore on the <strong>coins of Jahangir<\/strong>. These soulful couplets are the clear evidence was of his obsession with the Poetries. His obsession reflected excellently through his coins.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Mirza Nuruddin Beig Mohammed Khan Salim was known in history by his imperial name Jahangir. He was the fourth Mughal emperor who ruled from 1605 to 1627 AD. Among all the Mughal Emperors he was undoubtedly the greatest patron of fine arts and he took a great interest in it. It is said that Jahangir issued gold and silver coins featuring more than 50 varieties of couplets. The unparallel creation of verses and poems in the form of legend graced the ornamental face of the coins; its beauty and meaning were unique in the world.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>To understand these enchanting couplets gracing these coins, we have to understand his coinage. We have to understand how it all started!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Jahangir introduced a remarkable variety of magnificent gold Mohurs during his reign. Adorned by his portrait and Zodiac signs, these coins are an excellent example of the evolution of epigraphic\/ calligraphy. His father Akbar had also experimented with different portrait designs, including hawks and ducks. These coins are remarkable in their execution &amp; fabric. They are now very few in numbers, as Jahangir\u2019s successor, Shah Jahan withdraw them and melted most of them.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mintageworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/1-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1682\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mintageworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/1-1.jpg\" alt=\"coins-of-jahangir\" width=\"628\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mintageworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/1-1.jpg 628w, https:\/\/www.mintageworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/1-1-300x191.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 628px) 100vw, 628px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>One of the most fascinating designs from his coinage are the issues depicting his portrait, he specially presented them to his favourites.

These silver coins of Jahangir are highly sorted after by collectors.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Jahangir was very passionate about poetry. This is very clearly evident from the kind of coins that he issued with wonderful couplets on them.
