1 Rupee - Akbar Lahore Mint

The cartouche is framed by a decorative geometric border of diagonal foliate and interlaced motifs filling the surrounding annular field. The inscription reads 'Allahu Akbar Jalla Jalaluhu' (God is Great, Glorified be His Majesty), a hallmark pious formula adopted by Emperor Akbar. The overall design is characteristic of the Mughal hammered coinage tradition, with irregular flan shape and die-struck legends in high relief.

Reverse description	Central field displays a rectangular cartouche bearing a three-line Persian legend in hammered Naskh script, identifying the mint city of Lahore and the regnal year.

The cartouche is surrounded by a decorative border of diagonal foliate and interlaced motifs consistent with the obverse treatment. The strike is typical of Mughal hammered rupees of the Lahore mint, with bold lettering and an irregular but generally round flan.
