Mughal Coinage

Mughal coinage was a system used by the Mughal Empire in India to facilitate trade and economic stability. The coins, typically made of gold, silver, or copper, featured inscriptions in Persian script, often including the emperor’s name and titles, along with the date. These coins varied in design and weight over time but served as an important tool for asserting authority and standardizing currency across a vast empire. Mughal coins helped promote commerce, reinforced royal legitimacy, and reflected the empire’s cultural and artistic sophistication.
