India, Mughal Empire, 1 Rupee – AH 1136 / 1724

Description

The Mughal Empire was founded in 1526 by Babur, a lord of the war, who conquered Delhi”s sultanate and settled in the plains of northern India. However, it seems that the Mughal Administration was consolidated under its grandson Akbar around 1600. With Aurangazeb, the empire extended from Afghanistan to the current Bangladesh, although from then on it would be losing territories and influence at the hands of the marath The British Eastern Indies Company. The Mughal Empire, however, although a new administration on vast Indian territories imposed, did not mean the elimination of previous cultures, and implies an economic expansion, especially in the s. XVII. Akbar established taxes that would be the basis of efficient administration, and that would in turn allow an expansion of the arts, sponsored by a powerful elite. As we have said, from Augazeb, the decline begins, and there is a point where the British keep the institution artificially, until it is finally eliminated after the great rebellion of 1857.
