Aurangzeb's Coinage: The Imperial Mint
In Episode 220 of Fexingo History, Lucas and Luna explore the Mughal mint under Aurangzeb, from the calligraphic gold mohur to the copper dam. They discuss the emperor's decision to strike coins in his own name, the role of the mint in projecting imperial authority, and the practical challenges of running a vast currency system across the Deccan. With references to the Maasir-i-Alamgiri and the Fatawa-e-Alamgiri, they examine how coinage reflected both the reach and the limits of Mughal power.
