Copper
Akbar (1556-1605 AD), Copper Tanka (Double Dam), 40.64g. Bairata Mint, Aban 4x.
Fine, Extremely Rare.
The obverse legend on this coin clearly reads Neem Tanka Akbarshahi, thus indicating that the dies intended for ½ Tanka (or 1 Dam) have been used to strike a 2 Dam coin. Such mistakes have been noted for other smaller denominations but not yet for the larger copper denomination of Akbar.
