| Beschrijving keerzijde | Square flan bearing a multi-line Arabic inscription in raised Nastaliq relief, recording the Ilahi calendar month of Aban (corresponding to the zodiacal sign Scorpio), the regnal year 36 of Emperor Akbar, and the mint name Lahore. The legend is arranged in two horizontal registers divided by a raised rule, with a decorative dot border running along the upper edge of the flan. The hammered die has imparted a bold, slightly uneven strike consistent with hand production at the Lahore mint during the late 16th century. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Akbar's monetary reform of 1577–1578 overhauled the Mughal currency system root and branch, standardizing the rupee on a weight of approximately 11.2 grams and establishing fractional denominations in strict proportion. The Lahore mint was among the most productive of the empire's regional facilities, strategically positioned to serve Punjab and the northwestern frontier trade routes into Central Asia.
The regnal year places this piece in Akbar's 36th or 37th year — a period when the Din-i-Ilahi religious movement was at its most active and the emperor's relationship with orthodox Islam at its most fractious.
