Mughal, Shah Alam Bahadur (AH 1119-1124, 1707–1712 AD), Silver Rupee, Karimabad Mint (name of Murshidabad for a short period), RY 2, 11.60 g, KM # 347.11
Obv: Persian legend: "Sikka Mubarak Shah Alam Bahadur Badshah Ghazi" (Auspicious coin of the Victorious Emperor Shah Alam Bahadur).
Rev: Persian legend: "Sana 2 julus manus maimanat zarb Karimabad" (Struck at Karimabad in the 2nd year of the accession associated with tranquil prosperity).
The mint name Karimabad was used for Murshidabad for a very short duration during the reign of Shah Alam I (Bahadur Shah I). This makes specimens from this mint highly desirable for collectors of the Bengal series and the later Mughal Empire. The coin features the full weight and typical bold strike associated with this metropolitan mint.
