Note: Nisar coins functioned as agents to disperse the ill effects of the "evil eye" by distracting the public to make them look away while the emperor presented himself, at the court, or while in procession. Jahangir mentions several times in his autobiography the amount of money he scattered away while staging processions in cities like Ahmadabad. However, it is apparent that the ritual was carried out by other high-ranking members or officials because Nisars are known from places where the emperor never visited. Nisars are often struck in low denominations ostensibly to make a certain amount last when it was scattered over a certain time span while the ritual or procession ensued. But most such very low denomination Nisars are very rare as their chances of survival in circulation were limited.The present Nisar was struck at Lahore in Shah Jahan’s 25th regnal year, which commenced on 1 Jumada II AH 1061 (22 May 1651). Muhammad Waris records in the Padshahnama that on the very opening day of the new regnal year, Shah Jahan set out from the banks of the Ravi on his journey towards Kashmir. The coincidence of the Lahore mint, the commencement of RY 25 and the emperor’s documented presence on the Ravi makes this Nisar particularly interesting, placing it directly within the setting of the moving imperial court where such ceremonial issues would have served their intended purpose. &nbsp;
