Silver
Akbar (1556-1605 AD), silver square rupee, mintless and dateless type, KM 91.1, 11.35g, with Allahu Akbar on obverse and Jal Jalalahu on reverse, variety with 'Jim' of 'Jal' extended into a long stroke, floral decorative fields on both sides.
About extremely fine, Very rare type.
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.
Similar coin was sold in our Auction 39 Lot 364 at hammer Rs. 1,00,000.
