Akbar, Silver Rupee,
Akbar, Silver Rupee, 11.16 gm, AH 966, Kalima type. Mint is in margins on
Rev and can't be conclusively attributed. Obv: Kalima, Rev: emperor's full name
starting from top to bottom. By judging the fabric of the coin and strange
legend arrangements it could be attributed to possibly from Bengal province.
However since only 2-3 specimens of this very rare coin known to the
auctioneer till date the correct attribution of mint is conjectural. On most of
Akbar Kalima type rupees the name of the emperor begin from bottom to top
while in this case it's exactly opposite i.e from top to bottom. Very
fine +, very rare.
