From the Akola hoard. These mohurs are one of the loveliest of Mughal gol

types. The date was previously unknown for this coin until a hoard was

discovered some years back along the riverbank near the city of akola. It is

believed the Mohurs represented military pay sent from the mint at Surat to

Mughal troops fighting near Golconda. As the story goes, the courier rested

with the troops at night in the dry riverbed. Suddenly premature monsoon

rains filled the area and swept away the caravan - and with it the whole gold

mintage of the Surat mint for that year.
