Jahangir (1605-1628), Silver ½ Zodiac Rupee, Ahmedabad Mint, AH 1027/ RY 13, KM-138.2, Zodiac Type, Leo (lion left), with the sun rising behind, attractive original toning, PCGS graded XF40, ex Dr. Axel Wahlstedt Collection. After Akbar introduced the Ilahi Era coinage in the 32nd year of his reign, coins bore the mint name, the Ilahi year and starting in his 35th year the month according to the solar calendar. This was continued by his successor Jahangir, but in his 13th year (AH1027), he replaced the name of the month by its constellation symbols. At first, this policy was applied to both the Silver and Gold coins, struck at Ahmedabad and Agra Mint Respectively. All these coins bear the name Jahangir, the mint and the Hijri year on one side, the zodiacal symbol and the regnal year on the other. The gold continued to be minted till AH1034, the silver rupees were struck for only five months, indicated by the ram, bull, gemini, crab and lion, in that order, of which the bull & lion are relatively available, the other three being rarer. However silver and gold zodiac coins both were recalled from circulation following the death of Jahangir. According to a report from the French 17th century traveller Jean Baptiste Travernier, use of the zodiac rupees thereafter was punishable by death! However, by far the rarest of all the silver are the half rupees as only a few of them are recorded and known.
