I see a "12.." - that should help narrow it down.

I see a "12.."

Keep reading - there's two more numbers there, giving you the full date: "1281". 1281 in the Islamic calendar converts to roughly AD 1864/5. Which in turn means that it's not actually Mughal. It's from either Iran or Afghanistan, I suspect.
