1/2 Dam 1 Nisfi - Akbar

Akbar's copper coinage was part of a sweeping monetary reform that restructured the Mughal system around the silver rupee, with copper dams and their fractions serving the everyday transactions that silver could not practically reach. The half dam — the nisfi — was the smallest denomination most common laborers and market vendors would have handled. Akbar's mints were numerous and often geographically shifting, and attribution of individual copper pieces to specific facilities remains contested among specialists.
