Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an inscription in the Persian language, which was the official language of the Mughal Empire at the time. The inscription includes the name of the emperor, Akbar, and the date of issue, which is represented by the Islamic year "1006" (corresponding to 1599-1606 CE). This highlights the cultural and linguistic influences of the Mughal Empire, which was a major power in the Indian subcontinent during the 16th century.
