Akbar (AH 963-1014, 1556-1605 AD), Silver & frac12; Rupee, 5.72 gms, Surat (????) Mint, AH 984, Obv. Kalima Shahada withing dotted square & amp; mint name Surat in left quadrant, Rev. Jalal-ud-din Muhammad Akbar Badhsh Ghazi with date AH984 withing dotted square, Mint State specimen with pleasing luster, Almost complete mint name on flan, Unreported, Unique, exceedingly rare. As a chaotic succession crisis unfolded for the Gujarat Sultanate, Akbar recognized that the matter of conquering Gujarat was of paramount importance. He subsequently launched his campaign from Fatehpur Sikri on the day 20 Tir, divine month, corresponding to Tuesday, 20 Safar 4th July 1572. Upon conquering Ahmedabad, Akbar received information that the Mirza rebels were in Surat. He then marched to annex the fort, arriving in its vicinity on 8 Bahman, Divine month corresponding to Monday, 7th Ramazan, 11th January 1573(AH 980), & amp; following roughly six weeks of resistance, the fort& #39;s commandant surrendered on 26 February 1573. Akbar Surat Mint Rupees are known with dates, AH 1002 & amp; some are known with RY 37, 38 which corresponds to AH 1001 & amp; AH 1002. This particular coin, dated AH 984, has the earliest reported date for a silver coin from the Surat mint. One copper & frac12; Falus of Gujarat Standard from Surat Mint was reported with a partial date & lsquo;AH 98x& rsquo;. (JONS Vol. 237, Autumn 2019) It is also interesting that the name of the Surat mint is inscribed as & #39;Zurat& #39; on later rupees, i.e. & lsquo;?& rsquo; instead of & lsquo;?& rsquo;. The coin bears the complete mint name & #39;????& #39;, which is insribed with a & #39;?& #39;. This makes the coin a new, unreported, and unique discovery.
