Mughal Empire, Aurangzeb Alamgir(c. 1657-1707CE), Gold Mohur, 11.00grms, RY40, Minted at Burhanpur, deep strike, with a high relif, Uncirculated, Rare. During his Deccan campaigns (late 17th century), Aurangzeb (r. 1658–1707 CE) used Burhanpur as a key military and administrative base. Strategically located on the trade route to the Deccan plateau, it served as a logistics hub for Mughal armies during campaigns against the Deccan sultanates and Marathas. The city also hosted imperial workshops and mints, producing coinage in the Mughal style to assert authority. Aurangzeb spent several months here during the 1680s–1690s, consolidating control over the region and maintaining supply lines, fortifications, and local administration. His presence reinforced Burhanpur’s importance as a Mughal military center, linking northern Mughal territories with the Deccan and facilitating campaigns against Maratha strongholds.
