In AH987 Akbar issued fractional silver coins from the mints of Lahore, Ahmadabad, Fatehpur, Tanda and Bang with the legend “Allahu Akbar” - this is unusual because the promulgation of the Ilahi community and launch of the Ilahi Era took place more than two years later. During this time, Akbar famously held discussions with Hindu, Jain, Christian and Zoroastrian scholars to understand the nature of God, Ethics and Metaphysics through different religious tenets. He also contemplated his own stature as a divine being. The arrangement of the words “Akbar Allahu” (Akbar is God) on these coins perhaps reflects these thoughts - however they were strongly denied by historians like Badayuni.
