Akbar, Silver Square Rupee, 10.50g, Dhaka Mint, AH 1015, Obv: In rectangular border, Persian legend "Badshah Jalal al-Din Muhammad Akbar Ghazi" with date 1015 in top line, Mint name below, Rev: Kalma and the names of four Caliphs in ornamental calligraphic composition. Very fine+, exceedingly rare.
Towards the end of his reign Akbar faced the rebellion of 'Isa Khan, a powerful Bengali Muslim landholder who had been challenging Mughal authority in East Bengal for some while. He appointed his trusted general Raja Man Singh of Amber as the governor of Bengal to subdue the revolt. In the course of his campaign, Man Singh captured Dhaka in 1602 and made it into his base. He lived in Dhaka till early 1605, when he knew of Akbar's last illness he moved back to Agra. Akbar died on 27th October 1605 corresponding to 14 Jumada-al-Thani, AH1014. This coin is dated AH1015 which begins almost seven months later, so should be regarded as a posthumous issue in Akbar's name.
