AUC45
Mughals
Auction Date: 19-08-2023
Silver
Akbar (1556-1605 AD), silver square rupee, mintless and dateless type, KM 91.1, 11.07g, with Allahu Akbar on obverse and Jal Jalalahu on reverse, variety with 'Jim' of 'Jal' extended into a long stroke.
Decorative fields on both sides. Fine, 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.
