Very nice, Amit.

Here is my only Akbar.


Jalal al-Din Muhammad Akbar (963-1014 AH / 1556 - 1605 A.D.)
INDIA, Mughal Empire
AR Rupee
Dated AH987
Dar al-Sultanate Ahmedabad Mint
10.96g

 

Nice. The mint name is almost always off-flan on these. Yours clearly shows the distinct "Ahmada(b)a" part of the mint name, along with a bit of the epithet.

 

Nice, sadly it was overcleaned at one time. Still, it was less than $15 so I can't complain.

 

It should re-tone in time, especially if you live in a polluted city and leave it exposed. I have had some similarly overcleaned specimens re-tone in well within a year.
