SOLD $60
AKBAR, (963-1014 A.H., 1556-1605 A.D.), silver rupee, Ahmadabad Mint, regal year 42. Azar month, (KM.93.2); another Berar Mint, regal year 47, Mihr month (KM.93.6); another Sitapur Mint, regal year 49, Mihr month (KM.94.4); another Allahabad Mint, no regal year, with Poetic couplet, (KM.97.1). Mostly very fine, several scarce. (4)
These regal dated issues occur over the last few years of Akbar's life. The Allahabad issues are unusual in that this was the Province given to his son Salim who wanted supreme power. He rebelled outright several times and refused to recognise Akbar's suzereignty, consequently the issues from his mint were issued annonymously not following the imperial style but had instead a Persian poetic couplet and mint, sometimes with a date.
