Aurangzeb (AH 1068-1118 /1658-1707AD), Rajapur&nbsp;Mint,&nbsp;Silver Rupee,&nbsp;3X RY, "Badr munir" couplet,&nbsp;Obv:&nbsp;Persian legend “sikka zad dar jahan chu badre munir shah Aurangzeb Alamgir”, Rev:&nbsp;Persian legend “sana 3X julus” &amp; zarb, complete mint name “Rajapur”&nbsp;visible at bottom, 11.42g, 22.90mm,&nbsp;(Unlisted in KM, See ONS article no 188 pg no 24 by Shailendra Bhandare)&nbsp;shroff and counter marks on edge, about very fine,&nbsp;Exceedingly Rare.&nbsp;<o:p></o:p>

Note: This rare rupee was struck at&nbsp;Rajapur, a coastal town of strategic importance in the Konkan region of Maharashtra. The town was renamed&nbsp;Islam Bandar&nbsp;by Emperor Aurangzeb during his military campaign in the late 17th century, and this coin bears the original name&nbsp;Rajapur, directly linking it to that brief and turbulent period.<o:p></o:p>&nbsp;Rajapur had become a notable port by the mid-1600s. French traveler Tavernier mentions it as a major stop on the western coastal route, favored over the dangerous inland journey. In 1638, the English established a factory there, only to face destruction in 1661 at the hands of&nbsp;Chhatrapati Shivaji, marking the town’s volatile political atmosphere.&nbsp;<o:p></o:p>Aurangzeb, after moving to the Deccan in 1681, launched multiple campaigns through this region. His son, Prince Mu‘azzam, led expeditions into nearby&nbsp;Ram-Darrah&nbsp;(likely the Rain Ghat pass) linking Rajapur to the interior. The area again drew imperial attention during the capture of&nbsp;Chhatrapati Sambhaji&nbsp;at Sangameshwar in 1689 by Mughal forces - the final major Mughal action in Konkan.<o:p></o:p>Coins from the&nbsp;Islam Bandar / Rajapur mint&nbsp;are&nbsp;extremely rare, as the mint appears to have operated only briefly during Aurangzeb's Konkan campaign. This piece stands as a tangible remnant of Mughal assertion in coastal Maharashtra and is missing from most major collections.<o:p></o:p>An important historical issue with deep numismatic and political significance.<o:p></o:p><o:p></o:p><o:p></o:p>
