| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central square cartouche framed by a dotted inner border and a plain outer linear frame, bearing a multi-line Arabic inscription in Naskh calligraphy. The legend records the name and titles of Emperor Akbar, the regnal year, and the mint name Ahmadabad. The calligraphy is boldly engraved and fills the cartouche in a manner typical of Mughal hammered coinage of the later sixteenth century. A marginal inscription occupies the annular field surrounding the central square. The reverse design follows the standard Mughal rupee format established during Akbar's monetary reforms. |

These rupees were struck at Ahmadabad during a period when Akbar was consolidating Mughal control over Gujarat, a province he had seized in 1572 in a campaign so swift — Surat fell within days — that he reportedly covered 600 miles in eleven days on camelback to suppress a subsequent rebellion. The Ahmadabad mint, inherited from the Gujarat Sultanate's own highly developed coinage infrastructure, became one of the most productive in the empire almost immediately after the conquest.
KM#80.2 distinguishes the Ahmadabad fabric from other contemporary rupee issues primarily through mint name placement within the die layout — a distinction that matters considerably when attributing worn or clipped survivors.
