Note: Azam Shah, the eldest son of Emperor Aurangzeb, proclaimed himself emperor on 14 March 1707 (10 Dhu’l Hijja 1118 AH) at Ahmadnagar, shortly after his father’s death. Having served as governor and military commander in regions such as Berar, Gujarat, and Malwa, he possessed considerable administrative and military experience. However, his reign was tragically brief—on 8 June 1707, he was defeated and killed by his stepbrother Prince Mu‘azzam, who ascended the throne as Bahadur Shah I.<o:p></o:p>Fractional rupees issued in the name of Azam Shah are exceptionally rare. This quarter rupee from the Aurangabad mint, dated AH 1119 / RY Ahad, is an important and historic example, with both date and regnal year fully visible. Historical records note that Azam Shah stayed briefly in Aurangabad from 28 to 29 Dhu’l Hijja 1118 AH, just before the new Islamic year 1119 AH commenced on 4 April 1707. This indicates that the coin was likely struck during or immediately after his brief presence, when his authority was still recognized in the region.<o:p></o:p>A rare and poignant reminder of Azam Shah’s fleeting reign, this coin reflects how imperial coinage mirrored shifting political power during moments of dynastic change.&nbsp;<o:p></o:p>&nbsp;Only a few specimens of this quarter rupee are known, and it has been rarely offered in public auctions.<o:p></o:p>
