Burhanpur is the place where Mumtaza Mahal died on 17th June 1631 AD (1040 AH) while giving birth to the 14th child. Her body was temporarily buried at Burhanpur in a walled pleasure garden known as Zainabad originally constructed by Shah Jahan's uncle Daniyal on the bank of the Tapti River and later after 10 years it was moved to the tomb in Taj Mahal. So the Burhanpur mint of Shah Jahan of this date is very important with the same context.
