Mughals : Akbar (1556-1605 AD), silver square rupee, mintless and dateless type, variety with letter Jim of 'Jal' extended into a long stroke, similar to KM 91.1, 11.32g. Obv: Persian legend Allahu Akbar. Rev: Persian legend Jal Jalalahu.

Floral decorative fields on both sides within dotted border, Extremely fine, Very rare.

The type was introduced by Akbar soon after AH 990, to herald the 'timeless' Islamic Millenium, where he would be the 'Khalifah' or supreme leader. On a practical level, it helped counter the discounting of older coins by shroffs who relied on the date mentioned on the coin to apply it.
A similar coin was sold in our Auction 39 (2021), Lot no. 364 at hammer Rs.1,00,000.
