| Additional information |
This mohur was struck at Lahore in the twenty-fifth regnal year of Akbar's reign, a period coinciding with the formal promulgation of Din-i-Ilahi, Akbar's syncretic religious movement that drew from Islam, Hinduism, Zoroastrianism, and Christianity. The Lahore mint was among the most active of the empire at this point — Akbar had moved his court there in 1585, though preparations and administrative buildup preceded that shift by years, keeping the mint well-staffed and productive.
KM#112.2 distinguishes the Lahore fabric from other mint attributions in this series primarily through die alignment and marginal text placement.
