| Additional information |
The nisfi designation marks this as a half-dam, struck at Agra during the early administrative consolidation of Akbar's reign — a period when the Mughal copper coinage system was being actively rationalized after the monetary disorder left by Sher Shah Suri's successors. Agra functioned as a primary mint precisely because it sat at the administrative heart of the empire during this stretch, before Fatehpur Sikri briefly displaced it as the imperial center in the 1570s.
