Akbar (AH 963-1014/1556-1605 AD), Agra Mint, Silver Nazarana Rupee,&nbsp;Over struck on Suri Dynasty coin?,&nbsp;Elahi 48, Month Farwardin (Aries), Obv: Arabic legend &ldquo;Jalla Jalalahu Allahu Akbar&rdquo;, Rev: Persian legend&nbsp;month &ldquo;Farwardin&rdquo; at the top, &ldquo;zarb Agra&rdquo; &amp; &ldquo;Elahi 48&rdquo; at the bottom, 11.41g, 29.37mm, ((KM # 93.1),&nbsp;no test marks,&nbsp;centrally struck, original patina, choice quality, Exceedingly Rare.

Note:&nbsp;The rupee seems to be struck on a Suri under type as evident from the traces below. Copper coins of Akbar are well&nbsp;known to have been struck on Suri host. It seems that there must have been shortage of metal at Agra mint in the year 47&nbsp;and 48 when the need for using Suri rupees arose. To accommodate the large flans of the Suri rupees, an equally large die&nbsp;of the Akbar&rsquo;s design was specially engraved. The two rupees offered here are a testimony to such an event at the royal&nbsp;mint of Agra, thus the very large flan or nazarana Rupees of Akbar came into existence.
