Confirmation of construction cost?

[edit]

The Moti Masjid (Red Fort) built by Aurangzeb cost Rs. 1,60,000 according to a document referenced in its article. This Moti Masjid in the Agra Fort is also mentioned as having cost the exact same amount to build, but without any supporting reference. Unless there's some documentation to back this up, my guess is that someone mixed up the two Moti Masjids and incorrectly mentioned this one as costing the same to build as the other newer one.
