Obv:  در آفاق زد سکہ چون مہر و ماہ ابوالفتح غازی جہاندار شاہ 
Dar afaq zad sikka chun mihr-o-mah, Abu’l-Fath Ghazi Jahandar Shah. 1124
“Abu’l-Fath Ghazi Jahandar Shah struck coin throughout the world like the sun and moon.”

Rev: ضرب دار الخلافہ شاہجہان آباد سنہ احد جلوس میمنت مانوس
Zarb Dar-ul-Khilafa Shahjahanabad Sanah Ahad julus maimanat manus.
“Struck at Shahjahanabad, the Seat of the Caliphate, in the first year of the accession associated with prosperity.”

Jahandar Shah’s brief reign followed the succession struggle after the death of Bahadur Shah I. His gold coinage proclaimed imperial legitimacy through grand titles and poetic imagery, including the “Abu’l-Fath” and “Sahib-i-Qiran” legends. 

On this mohur, the comparison with the sun and moon presents his sovereignty in celestial terms. Its issue from Shahjahanabad, the imperial capital, gives particular significance to that proclamation of authority.

An attractive mohur displaying bold, sweeping calligraphy and warm golden surfaces. Delicate floral rosettes and ornamental dot clusters complement the inscriptions, lending the coin an elegant and balanced appearance. Uncirculated, Very Rare.
