Issued during the turbulent transition of Bengal from Suri, Muhammad Shahi, and Karrani Rule into the hands of the Mughals, this coin marks the Mughal occupation of Bengal, a province historically resistant to imperial control. Following Daud Khan Karrani’s defeat and execution in 1577 AD after the Battle of Rajmahal, Bengal was annexed, becoming the wealthiest and most fertile province of the Mughal Empire. To manage the immense revenues and provincial mints, Akbar created the powerful position of Diwan in 1579, a role central to the empire’s financial and administrative structure.
