&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Note: Kalyani, also known as Kalyan or Basavakalyan was a capital of Chalukyas during Medieval period, also famous for activities of Saint Basavanna / Basaveshwara. In 18th century, Kalyan was granted as a fief to a Pathan nawab family by Nizam ul-Mulk, Asaf Jah I.&nbsp;<o:p></o:p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; The mint at Kalyan had been sporadically active since the reign of Alamgir II. Towards the end of 18th century, Nawab Khair uddin Husain Khan, adopted a unique design, instituting the Shahada on obverse. The Nawab was married to Sahibzadi Bakhatwar Begum, the granddaughter of Nizam ul-Mulk Asaf Jah I. To celebrate the wedding these gold mohurs were struck, but their strikes show a gradual deterioration of dies with weakness and breakages evident. This shows that the issue must have been very limited, as no efforts were evidently taken to repair or re-engrave the dies.&nbsp;<o:p></o:p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; This&nbsp;gold mohur of Kalyani&nbsp;is struck on a&nbsp;thick planchet&nbsp;and features a&nbsp;broader, larger lion, clearly distinct from the next lot. The differences in design indicate that the&nbsp;dies were prepared by different die engravers at the same mint.&nbsp;Both coins represent distinct types, highlighting the&nbsp;varied striking styles&nbsp;from the Kalyani mint.<o:p></o:p><o:p></o:p>
