A rare 10.9 gram gold coin of Kam Bakhsh, the fifth son of Mughal emperor Aurangazeb, is going under the hammer here.
Marudhar Arts, a leading numismatic auction house here, is holding the auction at a price ranging between Rs 45 lakh and Rs 50 lakh.
According to Rajendra Maru, the CEO of Marudhar Arts, the gold 'Mohur' of Bijapur Dar-uz-Zafar mint has a Persian legend.
“The coin, weighing 10.90 gram, is almost uncirculated. So it's unique,” Maru, who is organising the auction, said.
According to a statement on Marudhar Arts' portal, Kam Bakhsh took active part in the wars.
In 1707, he seized the control of the Bijapur fort and declared himself the king.
Gradually, Kam Bakhsh sway extended across much of Deccan winning control over Hyderabad, erstwhile Gulbarga (now Kalaburagi), Shahpur and Wakinkhera.
