Mughal Empire
 
 
  • (title Padshah, sometimes Padshah-e Hind = Emperor of India)
  • Eventually, Delhi and almost all the rest of India fell under a dynasty arising out of the far northwest, the Mughals ["Mongols", from the fact that Babur was a great-great-great grandson of Timur (Tamburlane)]. Capital: Agra 1526-1540, 1555-1570, 1616-1648; Fatehpur Sikri 1570-1585; Lahore 1585-1599; Delhi: 1599-1613, 1648-1858; Ajmer 1613-1616).
  • Zahir ud-Din Muhammad Babur Mirza S/o Umar Shaykh...27 May 1526 - 26 Dec 1530
  • He was the ruler of Samarqand briefly from 1497-1498 (AH 903) and again 1500 (AH 905-906), Eastern Khorasan and Transoxian 1500-1530. After the Battle of panipat on 21 Apr 1526, the Battle of Khanwa (Khanua) was the second in a series of three major battles, fought near the village of Khanwa, about 60 km west of Agra on March 17, 1527. Babur defeated a formidable army raised by Rana Sanga of Mewar in this ten hour battle and firmly established his rule over northern India. Battle of Ghaghra, which is the third and last battle, occurred on May 6, 1529 mainly Babur, Humayun and Askari on one side while Sultan Mahmud Lodi, Sultan Nusrat Shah, Sultan Jalal ud-Din Lohani and Sher Shah Suri on the other side. Mughal won this battle as well.  Babur died at the age of 47 on December 26, 1530 of an unknown illness and was succeeded by his eldest son, Humayun. Babur's silver Tankas, also known as Shahrukhis were struck at Khorasanian and Transoxianan mints AH 906-933 (1500-1530). After invading India, this Tankas or Shahrukhis were struck principally at Kabul, Lahore, Agra, Jaunpur and Delhi. These first Mughal coins of India are considered reasonably common. See one of his Shahrukh minted at Qanadar AH 933 (1527).
  • Naseer ud-din Muhammad Humayun S/o Babur (1st time).28 Dec 1530 - 17 May 1539 d. 1556
  • Humayun silver shahrukis (4.7g) were struck at various Indian mints and are considered common. Humayun after 1539, was forced to seek Safavid protection as a vassal of the Safavid Tahmasp I at the end of AH 950 and returned with Safavid reinforcement to Qandahar late in AH 951. He had to produce extremely rare Shahruki and half Shahruki at Qandahar with Shiite Kalma. He abandoned the Safavid alliance early in AH 952. A scarce 1/4 gold Ashrafi were also struck at Badakhshan but without mint name AH 937-963 (1530-1556). Humayun lost his Indian territories to the Pashtun noble, Sher Shah Suri, and, with Persian aid, regained them fifteen years later.
  • Kamran Mirza S/o Babur [Kabul & Lahore]....................1530 - 1555
  • According to the Mughal historian Abul Fazl, Babur’s last words to Humayun were “do nothing against your brothers, even though they may deserve it.” His brother Kamran Mirza rebelled against him as he governor of Kabul and Qandahar. In 1538 Kamran first crossed into India, bringing with him 12,000 soldiers, while Humayun was away fighting in Bengal. He appeared to have come in order to put down the rebellion of his brother Hindal against Humayun. However, despite Humayun’s calls for help, Kamran offered him no aid whatsoever. After Humayun returned from his defeat at the Battle of Chausa, Kamran refused to place his troops under Humayun’s command as he was more interested in taking power for himself. Seeing no chance of furthering his ambition, Kamran withdrew back to Lahore. Following his success in the Battle of Kaunaj in 1540, the new ruler of northern India, Sher Shah, ordered Humayun to leave India and settle in Kabul. Kamran was unwilling to hand the city over to his brother though. At this point Kamran went behind Humayun's back and offered to support Sher Shah, if the latter would give him the Punjab in return. His offer was refused. At this point Humayun was urged by his advisors to put his brother to death, but he refused. After a series of disastrous attempts to retake his throne, Humayun crossed the Indus in 1543. Rather than welcoming him, Kamran sent his younger brother Askari out to catch him and bring him to Kabul. Humayun managed to escape his brother’s clutches though and sought refuge in the court of the ruler of Persia, Shah Tahmasp I. When Humayun was in Persia, Kamran offered the Shah, the city of Kandahar if he would hand his brother over to him. Shah Tahmasp favoured Humayun in this fraternal squabble however, and provided him with troops with which he defeated Kamran. Humayun was able to enter Kabul in November 1545 in a bloodless takeover, as Kamran’s rule had been oppressive, and the population of the city was keen to be rid of him. Although Humayun resisted the pressure to put his rebellious brother to death, he was persuaded that something needed to be done about him so he reluctantly had him blinded. Humayun then sent him off to perform the Hajj to Makkah, where he died in 1557. Other brothers of Humayun were Hindal and Askari. An extremely rare 1/4 gold Ashrafi were struck by Kamran Mirza at Badakhshan AH 937-962 (1530-1555). See one of his Shahrukhi minted at Kabul AH 937-962 (1530-1555).
  • Suri Dynasty.........................................17 May 1539 - 1555
  • MUGHAL EMPIRE (restored)
  • Naseer ud-din Muhammad Humayun S/o Babur (2nd time)..22 Feb 1555 - 27 Jan 1556
  • While Sikandar Shah was busy with his struggle against Ibrahim Shah, Humayun captured Lahore in February 1555. Another detachment of his forces captured Dipalpur. Next, the Mughal army occupied Jalandhar and their advanced division proceeded towards Sirhind. Sikandar sent a force of 30,000 horses but they were defeated by the Mughal army in a battle at Machhiwara and Sirhind was occupied by the Mughals. Sikandar, then led an army of 80,000 horses himself and met the Army at Sirhind. On June 22, 1555, Sikandar was defeated by the Mughal army and was compelled to retreat to the Sivalik Hills in northern Punjab. The victorious Mughals marched to Delhi and occupied it. Full title: Al-Sultan al-'Azam wal Khaqan al-Mukarram, Jam-i-Sultanat-i-haqiqi wa Majazi, Sayyid al-Salatin, Abu'l Muzaffar Nasir ud-din Muhammad Humayun Padshah Ghazi, Zillu'llah. Coronation on 30 December 1530 at Agra.
  • Hem Chandra Vikramaditya [Hemu] (Hindu Emperor).........Dec 1555 - 05 Nov 1556
  • The son of a food seller, and himself a vendor of saltpetre at Rewari, he rose to become Chief of Army and Prime Minister of Adil Shah Suri of the Suri Dynasty. He fought Afghan rebels across North India from the Punjab to Bengal and the Mughal forces of Akbar and Humayun in Agra and Delhi, winning 22 battles continuously, without a single setback. Hemu is known to struck coins bearing his title. After the victory of the Mughal ruler Humayun over Adil Shah's brother Sikander Suri, Mughals regained Punjab, Delhi and Agra after a gap of 15 years on July 23, 1555. At the battle of Chhapparghatta in December 1555, Hemu routed the Bengal forces under Muhammad Shah, who was killed in the battle. Hemu was in Bengal when Humayun died on January 27, 1556. Humayun's death gave Hemu an ideal opportunity to defeat the Mughals. He started a winning march from Bengal through present day Bihar, Eastern UP and Madhya Pradesh. The Mughal fauzdars evacuated their positions and fled in panic. In Agra, an important Mughal stronghold, the commander of Mughal forces Iskander Khan Uzbeg ran away from Agra hearing about Hemu's invasion without a fight. Etawah, Kalpi, Bayana, in the present day central and western UP, all came under Hemu's dominion. In the words of K. K. Bhardwaj in Hemu the Napoleon of Medieval India, if Vincent A Smith describes Samudragupta as Indian Napoleon, we can certainly call Hemu "the Napoleon of Medieval India" as the victor of 22 battles before dying fighting at Panipat due to sheer bad luck. Hemu won Delhi after a day's battle on October 06, 1556. Some 3000 soldiers died in this battle. However, Mughal forces led by Tardi Beg Khan vacated Delhi after a day's fight and Hemu entered Delhi victorious under a royal canopy. Hemu was crowned at Purana Qila, on 07 October 1556, in the presence of all Afghan Sardars and Hindu Senapatis (military commanders). On hearing about Hemu's continuous victories and fall of large territories like Agra and Delhi from Akbar's control, the Mughal army at Kalanaur lost heart and many commanders refused to fight Hemu. Most of the commanders advised Akbar to retreat to Kabul as he would be safer there. However, Bairam Khan, the guardian of Akbar and chief strategist for army matters, insisted on fighting Hemu in an effort to gain control of Delhi. On November 5, 1556, the Mughal army met Hemu's army at the historic battle field of Panipat. Bairam Khan motivated his army by a religious speech and ordered them to move for battle; Akbar and Bairam Khan stayed back eight miles from the battle ground. However, Hemu led his large army himself, sitting atop an elephant. He was poised to achieve victory, when he was wounded in the eye by an arrow, and collapsed unconscious. This led to extreme confusion in the soldiers, as no commander was able to make coordinated decisions. Thus a sure victory was converted by a stroke of chance into defeat. Unconscious, the almost dead Hemu was captured by Shah Qulin Khan and carried to the camp of Akbar and Bairam Khan to be executed. After Hemu's death, a massacre was ordered by Bairam Khan of the followers of Hemu. Thousands of persons were killed to create terror among Hindus.
  • Abu'l Fath Jalaluddin Muhammad Akbar I S/o Humayun...14 Feb 1556 - 29 Oct 1605
  • Akbar had three sons: Jahangir [Salim], Murad and Daniyal. Bairam Khan is known to be Akbar's regent 1556-1561. Akbar was a follower of Salim Chishti, a holy man who lived in the region of Sikri near Agra. Believing the area to be a lucky one for himself, he had a mosque constructed there for the use of the saint. Akbar celebrated the victory over Chittor and Ranthambore by laying the foundation of a new city, 23 miles (37 km) of Agra in 1569. It was called Fatehpur Sikri (city of victory), honoring the Saint. The Mughal army also conquered Kabul (1581), Kashmir (1586), and Kandesh (1601), among others. Akbar installed a governor over each of the conquered provinces. From the discussions he led there in 1575, Akbar concluded that no single religion could claim the monopoly of truth. Therefore inspired and interaction with various religious theologians had convinced him that despite their differences, all religions had several good practices, which he sought to combine into a new religious movement known as Din-i-Ilahi in 1581. On 03 October 1605, Akbar fell ill with an attack of dysentery, from which he never recovered. He is believed to have died on or about 29 October 1605, after which his body was buried at a mausoleum in Sikandra, Agra.
  • Hakim Mirza S/o Humayun (Kabul, Bihar and Bengal)...........1581 - 10 Aug 1581
  • In 1580, some prominent Muslim officers of Akbar, displeased with his liberal religious policies, started to conspire against him. Qazi Muhammad Yazdi declared it the duty of every Muslim to rebel against Akbar. In Bihar and Bengal they declared Mirza Hakim, Akbar's stepbrother and Governor of Kabul, to be the emperor. Akbar sent armies to Bihar and Bengal to crush this rebellion, while he himself started towards Kabul; Man Singh (Kacchwaha King of Amber, a state later known as Jaipur) with him. Akbar himself arrived at Kabul on August 10, 1581. Hakim was pardoned by Akbar, but his sister "Bakhtunissa Begum" was appointed Governor of Kabul. After Akbar returned to Fatehpur Sikri; Bakhtunissa remained as the nominal head of state, while Hakim acted as the Governor (Hakim died in July, 1582).
  • Nur-ud-din Jahangir [Salim] S/o Akbar [Rebel]................1600 - 1605
  • In 1600, when Akbar was away from the capital on an expedition, Salim broke into an open rebellion, and declared himself Emperor. Akbar had to hastily return to Agra and restore order. There was a time when Akbar thought of putting his eldest grandson Khusrau Mirza on the throne instead of Salim. Prince Khusrau Mirza, when he attempted to claim the throne based on Akbar's will to become his next heir. Khusrau Mirza was defeated in 1606 and confined in the fort of Agra. As punishment Khusrau Mirza was blinded, and the Sikh Guru Arjun (the religious fifth guru) tortured for five days until he had disappeared while taking a bath in a river. Coins were produced under Salim's name mainly at Ahmadabad, Kabul and Allahabad during Ilahi year (IE) 45-50 (1600-1605).
Naseer ud-din Muhammad Humayun coinage: 1530 - 1539 and 1555 - 1556 [AH 937- 946 and 962-963].
 

MM# 3014 Bahloli (½ Dam). Year: AH 937 (1530). Weight: 9.04g. Metal: Copper. Diameter: 16.00 mm. Edge: Plain. Alignment: Coin. Mint: Agra. Observe: "Fi Tarikh Sanat 937" (In  date year 937). Reverse: "Dar al Khilafat zarb Agra" (Struck at the Seat of Leadership/Rule, Agra). Mintage: N/A. Mintage Years: AH 937-939 and 941-942. Ruler: Humayun S/o Babur (1530-1556).
Note: The coins of Humayun and Babur are almost similar - specially the ones from Agra. The only way to distinguish between the two is the date - before AH 937 is Babur and after AH 937 are Humayun. AH 937 are a problem as it is a year that covers both rulers. He has come to a conclusion that the coins of Humayun are those with the epithet Dar al Khilafat - seat of the capital. Babur's capital was Delhi and hence the coins of Agra during his rule were having epithet Dar al Darb or Qilla Agra for Agra.

Scarce second year of Akbar's Reign. Akbar's First Rupee issue from Kalpi.

Kalpi is a town and a municipal board in Jalaun district in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh. Kalpi is located at 26.12°N 79.73°E. It has an average elevation of 112 metres (367 feet). It is on the right bank of the Yamuna. It is situated 78 kilometer south-west of Kanpur from which it is connected by both road and rail.
It is believed that the city was known as Kalap dev ki kalpi in the ancient times, later abbreviated to Kalpi. Kalpi is also known as the birthplace of Maharishi Veda vyas, the writer of Mahabharata and Puranas. He collected the chants of Vedas and assembled them in an arranged manner. Kalpi is said to have been founded by King Vasudeva at the end of the 4th century.
In 1196 it fell to Qutb-ud-din Aybak, the viceroy of Mohammed Ghori, and during the subsequent Muslim period it played a significant part in the history of central India. During Akbar's reign, Kalpi was a governor's seat and had a mint for copper and silver coinage. The witty Birbal of Akbar's court is considered to be born near this city. About the middle of the 18th century it passed into the hands of the Marathas.
The town was captured by the British in 1803, and after 1806 remained in British possession until India's independence in 1947. Kalpi was a part of Bundelkhand Agency, formed in 1811, and also housed its headquarters from 1818 to 1824. During this period the political agent to Governor General of India was appointed and headquartered in Kalpi. The British East India Company made it one of their principal stations for providing "commercial investment". In May 1858 Hugh Rose (Lord Strathnairn) defeated here a force of Indian rebels led by the Rani of Jhansi. The fortified post of Kalpi, the former residence of the rulers of Jalaun State, was dismantled in 1860 by the British and its place was taken by a market known as Whiteganj. There are many places for visiting like Vyas temple, Lanka Meenar, 84 Gumbaj and lots of Dargah like Khankah the Dargah of Sayyad Meer Tirmiji. Kalpi is also birthplace of Ved Vyas ji. There is a Kali Haveli and Rang Mahal of Birbal.

In 1622, Khurram (Shah Jahan), younger brother of Khusrau Mirza, had Khusrau murdered in a conspiracy to eliminate all possible contenders to the throne. Taking advantage of this internal conflict, the Persians seized the city of Kandahar and as a result of this loss, the Mughals lost control over the trade routes to Afghanistan, Persian and Central Asia and also exposed India to invasions from the north-west. Jahangir opened first relations with the British East India Company.

Irresistible Note: The details of the life of Inayat Khan are obscure. In March, 1618, Jahangir mentions in his memoirs that he made Inayat Khan Bakhshi of the abadis, or paymaster of the imperial cavalrymen. Jahangir writes that Inayat Khan was "one of my closest servants and subjects, when he begin the description of his death in Agra on October 10, 1618, but does not otherwise mention him anywhere in his diary (Jahangirnama). Jahangir's description of the death of Inayat Khan is as follows written at Ajmer: On this date news came of the death of Inayat Khan. He was one of my closest servants and subjects. In addition to eating opium he also drank wine when he had the chance. Little by little he became obsessed with wine, and since he had a weak frame, he drank more than his body could tolerate and was afflicted with diarrhea. While so weakened he was overcome two or three times by something like epileptic fits. By my order Kakim Rukna treated him, but no matter what he did it was to no avail. In addition, Inayat Khan developed a ravenous appetite, and although the doctor insisted that he not eat more than once a day, he couldn’t restrain himself and raged like a madman. Finally he developed cachexia and dropsy and grew terribly thin and weak. Several days prior to this he requested that he be taken ahead to Agra. I ordered him brought to me to be given leave to depart. He was put in a palanquin and brought. He looked incredibly weak and thin. “Skin stretched over bone.” Even his bones had begun to disintegrate. Whereas painters employ great exaggeration when they depict skinny people, nothing remotely resembling him had ever been seen. Good God! How can a human being remain alive in this shape?... It was so strange I ordered the artist to draw his likeness. Apart from giving this detailed account, he ordered the court painter Balchand to draw the likeness of Inayat Khan. What emerged was a drawing, perhaps one of the best linear works of Mughal School, along with a painting in colour. In the painting , Inayat Khan rests on a charpoy. Large bolsters support his torso and ample pillows steady his head and hands. The loose jama that Inayat Khan wears falls open to reveal the courtier’s sickly pallor, skeletal ribcage, and extraordinarily weakened condition. Although these rare images of death are routinely included in studies of Mughal painting, scholars fail to account for their place within the tradition of Mughal miniature painting, or for the motivations underlying their commission. This paper examines Dying Inayat Khan’s resonances with Jahangir’s personal and political interests through three lenses. The first considers the images in light of Jahangir’s scientific inquiries into nature and natural life-and-death processes, which are evident in Jahangir’s commissions of depictions of flora and fauna. The second investigates ways in which Dying Inayat Khan abides by and challenges conventions and functions of traditional Mughal court portraiture. Finally, the third critical lens reveals how Dying Inayat Khan evokes spiritual concerns that resonate with an allegorical mode of Mughal portraiture and with Jahangir’s spiritually-guided perceptions of his own mortality and political potency. Ultimately, the reality and representations of Inayat Khan’s death foretell formidable personal and political troubles for Jahangir and his reign. In the Jahangirnama, Jahangir’s unmistakable fascination with Inayat Khan’s dying body likely arose in part from the emperor’s own experience with opium and alcohol addiction. Jahangir had a great love of wine and opium, and his memoirs include numerous accounts of large drinking parties where wine and opium were openly consumed. This miniature "Dying Inayat Khan" (Watercolour and gilt on paper Bodleian Library, Oxford) which has inspired many painters over centuries still enchants the artists.

Note: Ahmednagar is a city in Ahmednagar district in the state of Maharashtra, India, about 120 km northeast of Pune and 114 km from Aurangabad. Ahmednagar takes its name from Ahmad Nizam Shah I, who founded the town in 1494 on the site of a battlefield where he won a battle against superior Bahamani forces. It was close to the site of the village of Bhingar. With the breakup of the Bahmani Sultanate, Ahmad established a new sultanate in Ahmednagar, also known as Nizam Shahi dynasty.

The Safavids had territorial claims over Qandahar since the reign of Shah Tahmasp. The overthrow of Humayun, the Mughal Emperor, is known to have gained the support of Shah Tahmasp in return for his permission to allow the Safavids to capture Qandahar. Subsequently, conflicts emerged in the region during the reign of another Mughal emperor, Jahangir. In 1638, the Kurdish military leader and administrator of Safavid Empire Ali Mardan Khan handed over Qandahar to Shah Jahan. Both Kabul and Qandahar came under Mughal control. The Mughal often viewed Kabul and Qandahar as a painfully small compensation for the loss of their homeland, Samarkand – which they had been driven out of by the Uzbeks.

The Mughal–Safavid War of 1649-1653 was fought between the Mughal and Safavid empires in the territory of modern Afghanistan. While the Mughals were at war with the Janid Uzbeks, the Safavid army captured the fortress city of Qandahar and other strategic cities that controlled the region. The Mughals attempted unsuccessfully to regain Qandahar, despite repeated attempts. In 1653 Shah Jahan sent Dara Shikoh, with a large army and two of the heaviest artillery pieces of the empire, but after a five-month siege the Mughals couldn't manage to starve the city, and the attempt to breach their walls by cannon fire also failed. The Mughals finally gave up all attempts to recover Qandahar.

In the waning years of his reign, Jahangir lost himself in drink, and allowed his queen Nur Jahan to effectively run the administration of the empire. This coin is tangible proof of Nur Jahan's power, as she places her own name on the coin, although nominally the issuer is Jahangir. The legend reads: "By authority of Shah Jahangir, gold gained a hundred beauties by the name of Nur Jahan Badshah Begum". Upon his accession, Shah Jahan made it a capital crime to use these coins and ordered them all to be melted, accounting for their rarity now.

On September 6, 1657, the illness of emperor Shah Jahan triggered a desperate struggle for power among the four Mughal princes, though realistically only Dara Shikoh and Aurangzeb had a chance of emerging victorious. Dara Shikoh was favoured as a successor by his father and his sister Princess Jahanara Begum. Shah Shuja was the first to make his move, declaring himself emperor in Bengal and marching towards Agra while Murad Baksh allied himself with Aurangzeb. Despite strong support from Shah Jahan, who had recovered enough from his illness to remain a strong factor in the struggle for supremacy, and the victory of his army led by his eldest son Sulaiman Dara Shikoh over Shah Shuja in the battle of Bahadurpur on February 14, 1658, Dara was defeated by Aurangzeb and Murad at the battlefield of Samugarh, 13 km from Agra on May 30, 1658. Subsequently Aurangzeb took over Agra fort and deposed emperor Shah Jahan on June 08, 1658. After the defeat Dara Shikoh retreated from Agra to Delhi and thence to Lahore. His next destination was Multan and then to Thatta (Sindh). From Sindh, he crossed the Rann of Kachchh and reached Kathiawar, where he met Shah Nawaz Khan, the governor of the province of Gujarat who opened the treasury to Dara and helped him to recruit a new army. He occupied Surat and advanced towards Ajmer. Foiled in his hopes of persuading the fickle but powerful Rajput feudatory, Maharaja Jaswant Singh of Marwar, to support his cause, the luckless Dara decided to make a stand and fight Aurangzeb's relentless pursuers but was once again comprehensively routed in the battle of Deorai (near Ajmer) on March 11, 1659. After this defeat he fled to Sindh and sought refuge under Malik Jiwan, a Baluch chieftain whose life had on more than one occasion been saved by the Mughal prince from the wrath of Shah Jahan. However, Malik betrayed Dara and turned him (and his second son Sipihr Shikoh) over to Aurangzeb's army on June 10, 1659. Dara Shikoh was brought to Delhi, placed on a filthy elephant and paraded through the streets of the capital in chains. Dara's fate was decided by the political threat he posed as a prince popular with the common people - a convocation of nobles and clergy, called by Aurangzeb in response to the perceived danger of insurrection in Delhi, declared him a threat to the public peace and an apostate from Islam. Dara Shikoh was murdered by assassins on the night of August 30, 1659. Under Shah Jahan, Mughal art and architecture reached their zenith; constructed the Taj Mahal, Jama Masjid, Red Fort, Jahangir mausoleum, and Shalimar Gardens in Lahore. He was deposed and imprisoned by his son Aurangzeb. Shah Jahan died on 22 Jan 1666.

Southern Central Asia in the 17th century was dominated by the Khanate of Bukhara, ruled by the Janid dynasty (also known as the Ashtrakhanids, as they originated from Ashtrakhan). From 1611 to 1642, the Khanate was ruled by Imam Quli Khan, whose reign was generally a stable one. His younger brother, Nadr Mohammed, ruled the provinces of Balkh and Badakhshan in what is now northern Afghanistan as a de facto independent ruler.
In 1622, Imam Quli Khan sent an offer of alliance to Mughal emperor Jahangir, proposing a joint offensive against the Safavids in Khurasan. However, the Mughal Empire at the time was embroiled in campaigns in the Deccan, and was not particularly interested in diverting forces away from that front. That same year, Shah Abbas of Persia launched an invasion of Mughal Afghanistan, and succeeded in capturing Kandahar. The failure of the Mughals to retake Kandahar from the Persians was interpreted by the Uzbeks as an indicator of Mughal weakness, and they soon forgot about their alliance proposal, choosing instead to attack the Mughals and profit as the Persians had. The Uzbeks attacked in 1625 and again in 1626, but were repulsed on both occasions. On 19 May 1628, Nadr Mohammed launched a large-scale invasion of Mughal territory with the intention of capturing Kabul. The Uzbek army advanced up to Lamghan, ravaging the countryside along the way, and laid siege to Kabul in early June. The Mughal response to the invasion was swift; an army led by Mahabat Khan, the governor of Peshawar, and Rao Surat Singh was dispatched with 20,000 men to relieve the besieged city. The Uzbeks were routed and withdrew in defeat, with the Mughals holding a triumphal parade in Kabul on 14 September. This, coincidentally, was the first recorded military victory of Shah Jahan's reign, which began that same year.
The 1630s saw no further Uzbek invasions, and also saw the conclusion of the Mughal campaigns in the Deccan. Kandahar, which had been lost to the Persians the previous decade, came back under Mughal control in 1638. The Empire was at the peak of its power and prosperity, and the Mughal position in the northwest was as strong as it ever had been. Shah Jahan, at this point, became interested in pursuing his cherished dream and restoring Mughal rule to his ancestral homelands in Central Asia. The perfect opportunity to do so seemed to arise with the abdication of Imam Quli Khan in 1642, who had grown blind with age, and his succession by Nadr Mohammed. Unlike his older brother, who was content with letting the subordinate chiefs of Uzbekistan manage their own affairs with little interference, Nadr Mohammed was determined to strengthen his authority as Khan. He pursued a policy of transferring and redistributing the offices and titles of subordinate chiefs, leading to widespread discontent and rebellion among them The country fell into civil war, and Nadr Mohammed was ultimately overthrown by his son, Abdul Aziz, who was proclaimed Khan of Bukhara in April 1645. However, Nadr Mohammed managed to retain his territories in Balkh and Badakhshan, which were under his possession even before he became Khan.
By middle of 1647, both sides had suffered considerably from the back-and-forth fighting. Given the huge disparity in resources between the Indian empire of the Mughals and the Uzbeks, however, it is reasonable to assume that the latter were suffering much more than the former. The Uzbek armies, which had banded together largely because of the prospect of easy loot from the Mughals, began disintegrating when such financial rewards were not forthcoming. Some of the Uzbek cavalry were even said to have sold their horses to the Mughals (Central Asian horses were highly valued by Indians and fetched high prices), and then camped back across the Amu Darya! However, the Mughals for their part could not take advantage of this lack of discipline and organization among the Uzbeks and complete the conquest of Central Asia, for a couple pressing reasons. Firstly, there was a worry that, if the Mughals succeeded with the annexation of Central Asia, the Mughal troops and commanders would be permanently stationed there. Few of the Mughal commanders were interested in spending their careers in the region, as they all preferred the wealth, luxury, and familiarity of India. Indeed, some of the Mughal commanders, like Bahadur Khan, even secretly opposed Aurangzeb and the war effort, to avoid such a result. Secondly, and perhaps more pressingly, the Mughal army was faced with a serious shortage of food, caused by the ravaging effects of warfare on the countryside over the last couple years. There was great inflation in the prices of basic foodstuffs, with grain being sold at Rs.10 per maund at the Mughal camp. The Mughal difficulties were compounded by the fact that the country lacked proper winter accommodation for a large army, and that many of the Indian soldiers were not accustomed to the cold climate. In light of all these issues, the Mughals, as well as the Uzbeks, both sought to bring the war to a close.
In mid-June, shortly after Aurangzeb had returned to Balkh, negotiations were opened with Nadr Mohammed, the exiled ex-ruler of the territories occupied by the Mughals since 1645. The talks moved slowly, lasting over three months before a settlement was concluded by Nadr Mohammed's grandsons on 23 September 1647. On 01 October, Balkh was formally handed over to the grandsons, and the Mughals began the withdrawal to Kabul two days later, on 03 October. The Mughal army during the withdrawal was commanded in the following manner: the right wing under Ali Mardan Khan, the left wing under Raja Jai Singh, and the rear under Bahadur Khan. The Mughal army continued to be harassed by roving bands of Uzbeks during the retreat, with the crossing at Ghazniyak pass being particularly slow and painful. On 14 October, the Mughals reached Ghori fort. From there until Kabul, Hazara tribesmen replaced the Uzbeks in harassing the Mughal columns. An early and unusually severe winter added greatly to the suffering of the Mughal army. The Mughals were burdened by a load of 10 lakh rupees and a lack of pack animals, thousands of whom died during the winter passage through the Hindu Kush. Aurangzeb crossed the range on 24 October, and reached Kabul on 27 October. However, large components of the Mughal army were still several days behind, and were slowed down by the heavy sleet and snow in the mountain passes. The Mughal column under Raja Jai Singh, in particular, crossed the Hindu Kush in the midst of a brutal snowstorm, and suffered immensely. The last Mughal troops finally returned to Kabul on 10 November 1647, marking the end of the campaign.

Ujjain is a city in Ujjain district of the Indian state of Madhya Pradesh. It is the fifth largest city in Madhya Pradesh by population and is the administrative centre of Ujjain district and Ujjain division. It is a known Hindu pilgrimage centre with the Kumbh Mela held here every 12 years.
An ancient city situated on the eastern bank of the Kshipra River, which flows into the nearby Chambal. Ujjain was the most prominent city on the Malwa plateau north of the upper limit of the Vindhya mountain ranges for much of its history. Ujjain's co-ordinates are 23°10′N 75°46′E with an average elevation of 494 m (1620 ft). The region is an extension of the Deccan Traps, formed between 60 and 68 million years ago at the end of the Cretaceous period. It emerged as the political centre of central India around 600 BCE. It was the capital of the ancient Avanti kingdom, one of the sixteen mahajanapadas. It remained an important political, commercial and cultural centre of central India until the early 19th century, when the British administrators decided to develop Indore as an alternative to it. Ujjain continues to be an important place of pilgrimage for Shaivites, Vaishnavites and followers of Shakta. The tropic of cancer also passes through a temple named Karkoteshwar, located near Harsiddhi Mandir in Ujjain.

A huge statue of Kshetrapala (deity related to Jains) is found near the bhuikot; the statue is broken but from the toenail that survives, its height is estimated to be more than 50 feet. Presently, there is an old Digambar Jain Temple in Kandhar which is awaiting for its renovation.

Note: Akbarabad is known today as Agra. It is generally accepted that Sultan Sikandar Lodī, the Ruler of the Delhi Sultanate founded Agra in the year 1504. After the Sultan's death the city passed on to his son Sultan Ibrahīm Lodī. He ruled his Sultanate from Agra until he fell fighting to Mughal Emperor Babar in the First battle of Panipat fought in 1526. The golden age of the city began with the Mughals. It was known then as Akbarabad and remained the capital of the Mughal Empire under the Emperors Akbar, Jahangīr and Shah Jahan. Shah Jahan later shifted his capital to Shahjahanabad (walled old Delhi) in the year 1689. Agra is a city on the banks of the river Yamuna in the northern state of Uttar Pradesh, India. It is 378 kilometres (235 mi) west of the state capital, Lucknow, 206 kilometres (128 mi) south of the national capital New Delhi and 125 kilometres (78 mi) north of Gwalior.

 
Muhammad Murad Bakhsh coinage: 1657 - 1658 [AH 1068].
Muhammad Murad Bakhsh was born on 09 October 1624, at the Rohtasgarh Fort in Bihar, as the youngest son of Emperor Shah Jahan and his beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal. He was appointed to Subadar of Multan (1642), of Balkh (16 February 1646 to 09 August 1646), of Kashmir (20 August 1647 to July 1648), of Deccan (25 July 1648 to 14 September 1649), and Kabul (23 January 1650 to 1654), of Gujarat (March 1654), and Malwa.
On 30 November 1657, he proclaimed himself emperor at Ahmadabad, after reports that his father was ill. During the same year he received the Ottoman ambassador Manzada Husain Agha, who arrived in the port of Surat and was on his way to meet Shah Jahan in Agra. Manzada Husain Agha mentions his disappointment regarding the wars between Shah Jahan's sons. Murad Bakhsh joined hands with Aurangzeb to defeat Dara Shikhoh, the eldest son of Shah Jahan. In fact it was the ferocious charge led by Murad Bakhsh and his Sowars that eventually turned the outcome of the battle in favor of Aurangzeb during the Battle of Samugarh. On 07 July 1658, while he was in a tent with his brother Aurangzeb, he was intoxicated and was secretly sent to the prison and transferred to Gwalior Fort from January 1659. He faced a trial that sentenced him to death for having murdered former Diwan clerk named Ali Naqi, on 14 December 1661. Aurangzeb then replaced Murad Bakhsh as the Subedar of Gujarat and placed Inayat Khan as the new Mughal commander of Surat.

  • Aurangzeb Alamgir [Muhiuddin] S/o Shah Jahan I.......31 Jul 1658 - 02 Mar 1707
  • Title: Abul Muzaffar Muhy-ud-Din Muhammad Aurangzeb Bahadur Alamgir Padshah-e-Ghazi. His five sons was known: Muhammad Sultan, Muazzam Shah Alam I Bahadur, Muhammad Azam Shah (killed 1707), Muhammad Akbar (died 1704 in Persia) and Kam Bakhsh (killed 1708). He was the first Mughal Emperor to completely remove the word "Allah", Shahada and Kalima from his coins and the later Mughal rulers followed him. The Battle of Saraighat was fought in 1671 between the Mughal empire (led by the Kachwaha king, Raja Ramsingh I), and the Ahom Kingdom (led by Lachit Borphukan) on the Brahmaputra river at Saraighat, now in Guwahati. Although much weaker, the Ahom Army defeated the Mughal Army by brilliant uses of the terrain, clever diplomatic negotiations to buy time, guerrilla tactics, psychological warfare, military intelligence and by exploiting the sole weakness of the Mughal forces, especially its navy. The Battle of Saraighat was the last battle in the last major attempt by the Mughals to extend their empire in to Assam. Though the Mughals managed to regain Guwahati briefly after a later Borphukan deserted it, the Ahoms wrested control in 1682 and maintained it till the end of their rule. In 1699, on his orders the Mughal governor of Sarhind surrounded the fort of Anandpur in Punjab, which was occupied by Guru Gobind Singh and well armed Sikhs. After oaths of safety by the Mughal forces, Guru Gobind Singh decided to leave the fort. However the Mughal forces broke their promises and attacked the Guru and the Sikhs, causing a great damage to them. He reinterpreted Islamic law and presented the Fatawa-e-Alamgiri; he captured the diamond mines of the Sultanate of Golconda; he spent more than 20 years of his life defeating major rebel factions in India; his conquests expanded the empire to its greatest extent; the over-stretched empire was controlled by Nawabs, and faced challenges after his death. He made two copies of the Qur'an using his own calligraphy.

Note: Khambayat is now know as Khambhat (or Camaby). A port on the north end, Gulf of Khambhat in Gujarat State, India. Khambat is perhaps the only place in India, where the Harappan craft – the agate bead making is found in the living tradition. Surprisingly Khambat has no stone deposit. But the craft has survived mainly through acquiring stones from the Rajpipla hills, about 200 km away from the town. It also manufactures of silk, chintz and gold stuffs. The Arab traveler al-Mas'udi visited the city in 915 AD, describing it as a very successful port; it was mentioned in 1293 by Marco Polo, who, calling it Cambaet, noted it as a busy port. He mentions that the city had its own king. Indigo and fine buckram were particular products of the region, but much cotton and leather was exported through Cambay. A contemporary Italian traveler, Marino Sanudo, said that Cambeth was one of India’s main two ocean ports. Another Italian, visiting in about 1440, Niccolò de' Conti, mentions that the walls of the city were twelve miles in circumference. The Portuguese explorer Duarte Barbosa visited the city, which he calls Cambaia, in the early sixteenth century. Khambhat was the capital of Cambay State, a princely state of British India. It was the only state in the Kaira Agency of the Gujarat division of Bombay Presidency. It had an area of 350 square miles (906 km²). It was founded in 1730, at the time of the dismemberment of the Mughal Empire. Its Nawabs were descendents of Mumin Khan, the last of the Mughal governors of Gujarat who in 1742 defeated his brother-in-law Nizam Khan, governor of Khambhat, and established himself there. In 1780 Cambay was taken by the army of general Goddard Richards, but it was restored to the Marathas in 1783. Finally it was ceded to the British by the Peshwa under the treaty of 1803. The state was provided with a railway in 1901.

Note: Multan is Pakistan's 5th most populous city. The city is located on the east banks of the Chenab River.

Multan is famous for its crops: wheat, cotton and sugar cane, mangoes, citrus, guavas, and pomegranates. Multan is one of the oldest cities not only in the Asian subcontinent but also in the world dating back 6000 years when it was known as Maloha, a cultural and trade hub between Central Asia and South Asia. According to Hindu legends, it was the capital of the Trigarta Kingdom at the time of the Mahabharata war, ruled by the Katoch Rajput Dynasty. Multan has had various names over the years. According to Hindu mythology, it was originally called Kashtpur (Kashyapapura) after a Hindu sage named Kashyapa, which is also the Gotra used by the Katoch dynasty. Other names were Hanspur (Hamsapura), Bagpur (Vegapura), Sanb or Sanahpur (Sambapura). It has been postulated that the current name is derived from the Sanskrit name Mulasthana named after a Sun Temple. Multan has frequently been a site of conflict due to its location on a major invasion route between South Asia and Central Asia. It is also known as the last conquered place by Alexander the Great in 326 BC. Multan was conquered along with Sindh by Muhammad bin Qasim, from the local ruler Chach of Alor circa 712 AD. Following bin Qasim's conquest, the city was securely under Muslim rule.

To the Arabs it was known as Dibal and the remnants of the brick wall from the Mirza Isa Tarkhan period were visible at that time.

Subsequently, Muhammad Shah (r. 1719 -1748) ascended the throne at the age of seventeen with their help and they remained his regent from 1719 to 1722.

The local Minister Birbal (not the Birbal of Akbar's fame) used him as puppet and proclaimed him emperor, but since the prince had spent his life inside harem and talked like a catamite, he was laughingly ignored and again put in jail by the Syed Brothers. Nekusiyar was arrested on 13 August 1719 and again placed in his old harem prison at Agra. However, soon after, he was shifted to Salimgarh in Delhi where he died on 12 April 1723 at the age of 43.

Note: Azimabad (Hindi: अज़ीमाबाद, Urdu: عظیم آباد‎‎) was the name of modern-day Patna during the eighteenth century, prior to the British Raj. Today, Patna is the capital of Bihar, a state in North of India. In ancient times, Patna was known as Pataliputra. This was the capital of the Maurya and Gupta Empires. Medieval India marked Pataliputra's invasion of Muslim Pashtun Bakhtiyar Khilji and other Muslim rulers. This event is arguably seen by modern historians and scholars as a milestone in the decline of Buddhism in India. Long before Pataliputra was conquered, however, most of the ancient city was abandoned in the seventh century of the Common Era but revived more than 800 years later during the rule of Pashtun emperor Sher Shah Suri as Patna. Sher Shah Suri had moved his capital from Bihar Sharif to Pataliputra. Not long after Sher Shah Suri's death in 1545, Patna and Bihar fell to the Mughals. The name Pataliputra continued to be used. In 1703, Prince Azim-us-Shan, the grandson of Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb came as the Governor of Pataliputra. Azim-us-Shan, renamed Pataliputra as Azimabad in 1704. Khan Zaman Khan Ali Asghar ibn Qazi Ghulam Mustafa was later on appointed as Naib Subahdar by Farrukhsiyar at Azimabad.

Note: Mathura was renamed Islamabad in AH 1076 (1665), on the conquest of Arakan by Shaista Khan. One of the main objectives of Aurangzeb's policy was to demolish Hindu temples. In 1669, shortly after the death of Mirza Raja Jai Singh of Amber, a general order was issued (09th April 1669) for the demolition of temples and established schools of the Hindus throughout the empire and banning public worship. Soon after this the great temple of Keshava Rai was destroyed (Jan.-Feb. 1670). Mathura is a city in the North Indian state of Uttar Pradesh. It is located approximately 50 kilometres (31 mi) north of Agra, and 145 kilometres (90 mi) south-east of Delhi; about 11 kilometres (6.8 mi) from the town of Vrindavan, and 22 kilometres (14 mi) from Govardhan. It is the administrative centre of Mathura District of Uttar Pradesh. Mathura is the birthplace of Krishna at the centre of Braj or Brij-bhoomi, called Shri Krishna Janma-Bhoomi, literally: 'Lord Krishna's birthplace'. It is one of the seven cities (Sapta Puri) considered holy by Hindus. The Keshav Dev Temple was built in ancient times on the site of Krishna's birthplace (an underground prison).

Roshan Akhtar Mohammed Shah coinage: 1719 - 1748 [AH 1131-1161].
During his rule, much territories were lost.
  • Marathas expanding from the Deccan, consolidated their occupation of Malwa during the 1730s and were able to blockade Delhi in 1736. Marathas consolidated their occupation of Gwalior during 1735-1736. By 1750, the Marathas dominated all lands below the River Jumna and extended their authority (in some cases transiently) over the towns of Agra, Itawa and Allahabad which lay near this river. Gujarat remained for a while under a Mughal governor. During this period Rajputana acquired effective independence as local states which still gave titular acknowledgement to the Mughal sovereign. Jaisalmir (west), Mewar Udaipur (south), Jodhpur (south), Jaipur (north) and Bhartpur (north) were the major states at this period.
  • Bengal and adjacent regions became independent under Alivardi Khan in 1740. The mint: Jahangirnagar (Dacca and currently Dhaka in Bangladesh) was later passed to the East India Company until it was closed around 1771.
  • Nader Shah of Persia and Afghanistan invaded India and sacked Delhi in 1739. Nader Shah returned Muhammad Shah Delhi but retained control of northern Pakistan and the Punjab. These provinces, together with Sind and Kashmir, soon become the eastern region of Ahmad Shah Durrani, a new Afghan ruler. He had usurped also the east Persian provinces after Nader Shah's death in 1747. Ahmad Shah Durrani's further pretensions of eastern conquest were checked by Muhammad Shah at Sirhind (Battle of Manupur) on 11 March 1748, but the Afghans remained in control of Sind, the Punjab and Kashmir. Sikhs looted Ahmad Shah Durrani's booty and horses while they were on the way back to Kabul. Thus, the first invasion of Ahmad Shah Durrani proved a failure but it gave an opportunity to the Sikhs to organize themselves into Dal Khalsa, an army of Sikh Confederacy, at Amritsar in March 1748. Multan was taken by Afghans in 1738, but later possessed by Sikhs and then by the Amirs of Bahawalpur.

Reverse: Zarb Peshawar (Struck at Peshawar). Mintage: N/A. Mintage Years: N/A. Ruler: Roshan Akhtar Mohammed Shah S/o Khujistan Akhtar (1719-1748). Note: Somehow Scarce.

Note: Nadir Shah of Persia and Afghanistan invaded India in 1738 (Kabul was taken on 19 June 1738 and Lahore on 12 January 1739 = Mohammad Shah AH1151/RY.20-21). Nadir Shah entered the city of Delhi on 09 March 1739 and was proclaimed sovereign. During the course of one day (March 22) 20,000 to 30,000 Indians were killed by the Persian troops, forcing Mohammad Shah to beg Nader for mercy. Mohammad Shah paid the consequence in handing over the keys of his royal treasury, and losing even the fabled Peacock Throne to the Persian emperor. Nader also looted the Koh-i-Noor (meaning "Mountain of Light" in Persian) and Darya-ye Noor (meaning "Sea of Light") diamonds. On his departure from Delhi (01 May 1739 = AH1152/RY.21), Muhammad Shah was reinstalled by Nadir Shah, on agreement that the provinces west of the River Indus were ceded to Nadir Shah. From that date these provinces (which includes Peshawar) were permanently lost to the Mughal Empire. Despite that the rulers name is missing on this coin, it must be an issue of Muhammad Shah. Nadir's Indian campaign alerted the British East India Company to the extreme weakness of the Mughal Empire and the possibility of expanding to fill the power vacuum. Peshawar was held by Nadir Shah until his death in AH 1160 (1747). Peshawar was lost to the Afsharids and incorporated into the rising Durrani kingdom. Because of its proximity to the expanding Sikh state, some Sikh influence soon became apparent at Peshawar, which finally came under Sikh overlordship in 1818, seceded to the British in 1849.

Shahabad is a city and a municipal board in Hardoi district in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh. Shahabad is 52 kilometers north-east of Farrukhabad and 35 kilometers north-west of Hardoi. Kannauj is 95 kilometers south of Shahabad. At one point of time Shahabad was counted among the few biggest cities of Oudh, but declined rapidly in later period and now reduced to a town. It is the site of the Tomb of Diler Khan, a governor in the time of Shah Jahan and Aurangzeb, Jama-Masjid, Sankta Devi temple, Balaji temple and Baram Baba temple. The legend has it that this is also site of ancient village Angadpur after Angada, nephew of Sugriva.

Shahabad was founded in 1680 A.D. by Nawab Diler Khan, an Afghan officer of Shah Jahan, who was sent to suppress an uprising in Shahjahanpur. The same man overthrew Pande Parwar bandits of Angni Khera. Joseph Tiefenthaler, one of the earliest European geographers to write on India, visited the town in 1770 and described it as a town of considerable circuit, with a palace of bricks in the middle strengthened by towers like a fortress, with a vestibule and a covered colonnade. This palace used to be known as Badi Deorhi. Although the palace no longer exists, the two grand gateways are still standing. Nawab Diler Khan also erected Jama Masjid and his own mausoleum.

Note: Sarhind (Sirhind or Sahrind) is now known as Sirhind-Fatehgarh, a city and a municipal council in Fatehgarh Sahib district in the Indian state of Punjab. Gurudwara Fatehgarh Sahib is the main attraction of the city. Varahamihira (505-587) in his Sanskrit treatise, Brihat Samhita, mentions the city as 'Satudar Desh', later it was inhabited by a tribe of 'Sairindhas Aryans, leading to its present name. According to popular notion, the present name of the city, Sirhind, comes from 'Sar-i hind', meaning the Frontier of Hind, as Mughal invaders saw it as the 'gateway to Hindustan'. According to Huan Tsang, the Chinese traveller who visited India during the seventh century, Sirhind was the capital of the district of Shitotulo, or Shatadru (the present day River Sutlej). In 12th century, Sirhind came under the rule of the Hindu Chauhan Rajputs of Delhi. During the rule of Prithvi Raj Chauhan (1168–1192), the Hindu Rajput ruler of Delhi, it became his military outpost. It further rose in glory during the Mugha Empire, when it became its provincial capital, controlling the Lahore-Delhi Highway, the Grand Trunk Road. During the Mughal era, Sirhind was the name for Malwa, since it was the area's capital city. Sirhind was the headquarters of the Mughal administration in Eastern Punjab. Many European travellers describe its splendours, and it also developed into a center of cultural activity.

Sirhind was known for the dozens of saints, scholars, poets, historians, calligraphers and scribes who lived there. This city is mostly famous to Muslims for Great saint Imam-e-Rabbani Shaykh Ahmad al-Faruqī al-Sirhindi (1564–1624). He was an Indian Islamic scholar of Arab origin, a Hanafi jurist, and a prominent member of the Naqshbandī Sufi order. A large number of buildings survive from this period, including the fort named 'Aam Khas Bagh'; it is said that in its heyday, the city had 360 mosques, gardens, tombs, caravansarais and wells.
Younger sons of tenth Sikh guru Sri Guru Gobind Singh ji namely Baba Zorawar Singh ji and Baba Fateh Singh ji were bricked alive at the age of 9 and 7 years respectively on 26 December 1705 by then governor Wazir Khan. Gurudwara Sri Fatehgarh Sahib is established at that place to commemorate them. Gurudwara Bhora Sahib marks the site of the wall in Gurdwara Sri Fatehgarh Sahib. Baba Banda Singh Bahadur and his Dahiya Jat army on 12 May 1710 destroyed the city of Sirhind completely and killed Wazir Khan, the governor in the Battle of Chappar Chiri. The Sikhs occupied Sirhind and made Bhai Baj Singh the governor. This establish the Sikh rule from Lahore to the outer of Delhi with capital at Lohgarh (Haryana).

  • Aziz ud-Din Alamgir II S/o Jahandar Shah.............03 Jun 1754 - 29 Nov 1759
  • Ruler's title: Aziz ad-din Abu'l Adil Mohammad Alamgir II (Aghrid Yaldosz) Padshah-e-Ghazi. Aziz-ud-Din, the second son of Jahandar Shah, was raised to the throne by Imad-ul-Mulk after he deposed Ahmad Shah Bahadur in 1754. On ascending the throne, he took the title of Alamgir and tried to follow the approach of Aurangzeb Alamgir. At the time of his accession to throne he was an old man of 55 years. He had no experience of administration and warfare as he had spent most of his life in jail. He was a weak ruler, with all powers vested in the hand of his Wazir, Ghazi-ud-Din Imad-ul-Mulk. Regent ruled the Empire during his period: Imad-ul-Mulk (1754–1756), Najib-ul-Daula (1756–1759) and Imad-ul-Mulk (1759). In 1756, Ahmad Shah Abdali invaded India once again and captured Delhi and plundered Mathura. Marathas became more powerful because of their collaboration with Imad-ul-Mulk, and dominated the whole of northern India. This was the peak of Maratha expansion, which caused great trouble for the Mughal Empire, already weak with no strong ruler. The relations between Alamgir II and the usurping Vizier, Imad-ul-Mulk, by this time had deteriorated. He was murdered by Imad-ul-Mulk in 1759 and the Maratha leader Sadashivrao Bhau. Alamgir II's son Ali Gauhar escaped persecution from Delhi, while Shah Jahan III was placed on the throne. Various mint have produced coins on his name.

He was placed on the Mughal throne in December 1759 as a result of the intricacies in Delhi with the help of Imad-ul-Mulk. He was later deposed by Maratha Sardars. Delhi was briefly captured by Marathas in 1759. The Battle of Buxar was fought on 22 October 1764 between the forces under the command of the British East India Company, and the combined armies of Mir Qasim, the Nawab of Bengal; Shuja-ud-Daulah, the Nawab of Awadh; and Shah Alam II, the Mughal Emperor. The battle fought at Buxar, then within the territory of Bengal, a town located on the bank of the Ganges river, was a decisive victory for the British East India Company. Shuja-ud-Daulah, the prime victim, signed the Treaty of Allahabad that secured Diwani Rights for the Company.

Bidar Bakht was the son of the former Mughal Emperor Ahmad Shah Bahadur. He was deposed in the same year by the Marathas and killed in 1790 on the orders of Emperor Shah Alam II, though it was he who had helped Shah Alam II during his brief reign by sending him water and food secretly when Ghulam Qadir had ordered that no food or water be supplied to the deposed Emperor.

  • Muhammad Akbar Shah II S/o Shah Alam II (1st time)...09 Oct 1788 - 16 Oct 1788

Shah Alam II [Ali Gauhar] coinage: 1760 - 1806 [AH 1174-1221].
In 1761 the Marathas expanding northwards and the Afghans expanding southwards met in the battle at Panipat near Delhi. The Mughal Emperor Shah Alam II was of a little political account. Sadashivrao Bhau (commander-in-chief of Maratha Army) died in this battle. Weakened after their defeat of 1761 the Marathas consolidated their control over Malwa but did not pursue their endeavors further north. Marathas lost suzerainty over Punjab till north of Sutlej river to the Afghans. Ahmad Shah Durrani vacates Delhi soon after the battle. Anwala (Aonla) a town east of Delhi reverted to the Mughals when the the Marathas were expelled south after this battle.

Ahmadnagar - Farrukhabad ceded by the Nawab of Awadh to the East India Company in 1802. The coins produced at Ahmadnagar - Farrukhabad without the Fish symbol of the Nawab should probably be considered Mughal; the Nawab and the Mughal being allies at that time. Islamabad (Mathura) mint later fell under the influence of the Jat Rajas of Bhartpur and the Nawabs of Awadh. Najibabad, a town near Delhi was built in AH 1161-1167. The region was acquired by the Nawabs of Awadh soon after the AH 1188 (1774) silver Rupees coins were struck. Subsequent these coins bore the Fish symbol.

Although coins were struck in Shah Alam II's name as titular sovernign throughout a wide extent of India, but his actual political authority was restricted to the region around Delhi. As an ally of the Nawab of Awadh (Oudh), Shah Alam II exerted some influence in the Ganges valley until the British conquests of 1801-1802.

KM#512 minted years were issued by Muhammad Beg Hamadani. He was A Kinsman of Najaf Khan. Having been a Safavi prince, when that dynasty was deposed by Nader Shah in 1736. Muhammad Beg Hamdani Married a Rajput women and acquired a large Estate [The Gazette of Agra Uttar Pradesh Publish In the year 1965 by the Smt. Esha Basanti Joshi (IAS)]. Emperor Shah Alam II appointed Muhammad Beg Hamdani the new Governor of Agra Province in 1779. The battle between Maharaja Sawai Pratap Singh of Jaipur and Mahadaji Scindia of the Marathas was fought in the plains of Tunga - Madhogarh on 28th July 1787 and thus called the Battle of Tunga. The greatest loss of Tunga battle was to the Rajput that came with the death of Muhammad Beg Hamadani, which broke the spine of the offensive power of the Marathas. Muhammad Beg Hamadani was the most famous Muslim warrior then living in North India and had sent on his troops to attack the Maratha right wing while he was sitting on an elephant in the shade of a tree watching them from behind. A cannon ball suddenly came and struck the tree above and rebounding knocked him down to the ground, tearing one side of his body open. Eventually, the branch, broken by the shot, fell down crushing him from below. His advancing troops, unaware of his fate, attacked the Maratha right wing and penetrated to their baggage, but were revolted by the Deccan horse hurried up from the reserve by Rana Khan. Maharaja Sawai Pratap Singh of Jaipur could not fought the battle without the help of Maharaja Bijay Singh of Jodhpur; hence he helped him by sending 20,000 Rathore soldiers. The causalities in this battle are numbered in thousands and resulted in stalemate.

Note: Below are other Akbarabad mint issues during Shah Alam II rule:

  • KM#490: Pre-Panipat issues: AH1174//1, AH117x//2, AH1176//4, AH1177//4, AH1177//5, AH1178//5, AH1179//6, AH1180//7 and AH1181//8 (1760-1767).
  • KM#500: Issued by: Najaf Khan Rohilla. AH1185//14 (sic) and AH1186//14 (1772). In 1779 the newly reformed Mughal Army decisively defeated Zabita Khan and his Sikh allies the rebels lost 5,000 men including their leader and therefore did not return during the lifetime of Mirza Najaf Khan. Unfortunately upon the general's death [He died on April 26, 1782 after serving Mughal throne for forty two years], Shah Alam's bad judgement prevailed. The dead man's nephew, Mirza Shafi whose valour had been proven during various occasions, was not appointed commander in chief. Shah Alam II instead appointed worthless individuals whose loyalty and record were questionable at best. They were soon quarrelling over petty matters. Even the corrupt and treasonous former Grand Vizier, Majad-ud-Daula was restored to his former office, he later colluded with the Sikhs and reduced the size of the Mughal Army from over 20,000 to only 5,000 thus bringing the Mughal Emperor Shah Alam II at the mercy of his ruffian enemies.
  • KM#520: Issued by: Mahadji Sindhia. AH1198//26 and AH1199//26 (1784-1785).
  • KM#530: Issued by: Ghulam Qadir Rohilla. AH1201//28 (1787). Nawab Majad-ud-Daula was followed by a known enemy of the Mughals, the grandson of Najib Khan, Ghulam Qadir, with his Sikh allies forced Shah Alam II to appoint him as the Grand Vizier of the Mughal Empire. Petty, avaricious and insane Ghulam Qadir ravaged the palaces in search of the Mughal treasure believed to be worth Rs.250 million. Unable to locate even a fraction of that sum and angered by the Mughal Emperor's attempts to eliminate him and his Sikh allies, Ghulam Qadir himself blinded Shah Alam II on 10 August 1788. A drunken ruffian, Ghulam Qadir behaved with gross brutality to the emperor and his family. Three servants and two water-carriers who tried to help the bleeding emperor were beheaded and according to one account, Ghulam Qadir would pull the beard of the elderly Mughal Emperor Shah Alam II. After ten horrible weeks, during which Ghulam Qadir stripped the princesses of the royal family naked and forced them to dance naked before him (after which they jumped into Yamuna river to drown) and the honour of the royal family and prestige of the Mughal Empire reached its lowest ebb, Mahadaji Shinde intervened and killed Ghulam Qadir, taking possession of Delhi on 02 October 1788. He restored Shah Alam II to the throne and acted as his protector.

Mahadji Sindhia (or Scindia), was a Maratha ruler of the Maratha Empire of the state of Gwalior in central India. He was the fifth and youngest son of Sardar Ranoji Rao Scindia. Mahadaji was instrumental in resurrecting Maratha power in North India after the Third Battle of Panipat in 1761, and rose to become a trusted lieutenant of the Peshwa, leader of the Maratha Empire. Along with Madhavrao I and Nana Fadnavis, he was one of the three pillars of Maratha Resurrection. During his reign, Gwalior became the leading state in the Maratha Empire and one of the foremost military powers in India. After accompanying Shah Alam II in 1771 to Delhi, he restored the Mughals in Delhi, under the suzerainty of Marathas. He annihilated the power of Jats of Mathura and during 1772-1773 and destroyed the power of Pashtun Rohillas in Rohilkhand and captured Najibabad. His role during the First Anglo-Maratha War was greatest from the Maratha side since he humbled the British in Central India, single handed, which resulted in the Treaty of Salbai in 1782, where he mediated between the Peshwa and the British. After the Treaty of Salbai in 1782, he invaded and overpowered the Rajput states, particularly Jodhpur and Jaipur through the Battle of Patan ,the Battle of Medtya and the Capture of Ajmer in 1790. Even Sikh sardars of the cis-Sutlej region paid tributes to him. Mahadji became Vakil-ul-Mutlaq (regent of Mughal affairs), and The Mughals also gave him the title of Amir-ul-Umara (head of the Amirs) in 1784.
