With the exception of a few issues of Burhanpur, all gold mohurs of Jahangir are both very rare and very popular.
Kabul is an exceptionally rare mint for gold, and struck a number of distinctive types during the reign of Jahangir, this being one of the rarest types of all. Only two examples are recorded on CoinArchives, both with the 34sakht nurani34 couple and dated year 16 40listed in their auction catalogs as AH1016, corrected by Lingen for Zeno-7921541, without regnal year, similar to the early heavy weight mohurs best known from the mints of Lahore Agra dated a decade earlier, AH1014-1015. These two mohurs brought 3615,000 in 2010 and 3627,400 in 201341. This piece bears the 34ta zanad34 couplet well-known on the scarce silver rupees dated regnal years 17-21 40sometimes also with Hijri date41, but seems to be unrecorded for gold.
