Despite initial successes, the harsh climate and persistent attacks from Uzbek partisans posed challenges for Indian troops, leading to negotiations for a truce. The Mughal army withdrew from Balkh by October 1647 after a brief occupation of just over a year. Despite its brevity, historical records such as Abdul Hamid Lahori's Badshahnama attest to the minting of coins in Balkh during this period. Discoveries like this coin, dated AH 1057, are tangible evidence of this historical chapter.This coin, distinguished by its clear date and well-preserved legends, AH 1057, represents one of the finest specimens of its kind. It prominently displays a significant portion of its inscriptions, providing valuable numismatic evidence. KM lists only an undated version of this type.&nbsp;<o:p></o:p><o:p></o:p><o:p></o:p><o:p></o:p><o:p></o:p>
