This exceptional copper dam represents a fascinating piece of Mughal numismatic history from the reign of Emperor Jahangir (1605-1627), one of India’s most culturally significant rulers. Minted at the Dariba Kotri mint, this rare coin weighs 20.38 grams and measures 20.83mm in diameter, featuring Jahangir’s name prominently on the obverse alongside the denomination “Falus” (Ry8). The reverse displays the mint inscription “Zarb Dariba Kotri” inscribed vertically, a distinctive characteristic of this particular issue.

What makes this coin exceptionally desirable is its unlisted status—it does not appear in standard catalogs like Krause-Mishler, making it a genuine rarity for serious numismatists. In Very Fine condition with visible patina from centuries of circulation, this dam showcases authentic wear patterns that authenticate its historical provenance. Collectors prize Jahangir-era copper coins for their artistic merit and historical significance, as they represent a pivotal period in Mughal administration and monetary systems. This piece offers both investment potential and scholarly value, appealing to those seeking uncommon additions to their collections or those interested in Indo-Islamic monetary heritage.
