Here is one from Lahore

Lahore, 986AH

 

1565-1605 Mughal-Akbar AR rupee, AH 993 Ahmadabad, Dar al Sultanat, zeno #275568

 

This would be the last year of this type for Lahore. I have never seen any with the mint name on-flan though: stylistically attributed to Lahore based on the symbol atop the “dal” of “Muhammad”.

 

The mint name and epithet appear in the bottom margin of the reverse. Adding another specimen for comparison.

 

AH978 Mughal-Akbar, Lahore AE Dam, zeno#271719

 

Nice one. The date is 987.

 

Sorry, my mistake. The date is clear to read.
