This is my first foray into pre-colonial Mughal Islamic India. Thoughts? Thanks!    India: Mughal. Mohur, AH1116/48 (1705AD). Fr-810; KM-315.42. Shahjahanabad. Aurangzeb Alamgir, 1658-1707. IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

This one seems way after medieval so it may be misplaced in this section. @Spence feel free to move this if it is better suited elsewhere. Thanks!

Yep you are about 100 years too contemporary for this subforum. I'll move it over.
Nice coin by the way!

Thank you for your kind responses. I was reading about the Mughal empire and saw that Aurangzeb Alamgir ruled at the peak of the expansion of the empire. Seems like I have a lot to learn in this area. Nice to have others to tread this path of learning with.
