Supremely Attractive and Rare Mohur of Akbar – Full Mihrab Frame with Complete Legends | Agra Mint An outstanding gold Mohur from the reign of Emperor Jalal ud-Din Muhammad Akbar, struck at the prestigious Dar-ul Khilafa Agra mint. This coin stands out for its remarkable artistic and epigraphic features, making it a true gem for advanced collectors of Mughal numismatics.The obverse showcases a fully defined Mihrab-shaped frame, within which the emperor’s complete titulature is elegantly inscribed: "Jalal ud-Din Muhammad Akbar Badshah Ghazi." Such a complete rendering of the royal name within a well-executed Mihrab is seldom encountered.Equally noteworthy is the complete mint inscription: "Zarb Dar-ul Khilafa Agra," including the rarely seen religious epithet—an unusual and desirable feature on Mohurs of this type, elevating the coin’s historical and collectible value.On the reverse, the Kalima is enclosed within a perfectly centered dotted border, sitting squarely within the flan—testifying to superior striking quality and die alignment, often lacking in surviving examples.These combined elements—full inscriptions, exceptional calligraphy, rare epithet, and centered strike—render this Mohur supremely attractive and of great rarity. Such specimens are highly sought-after and rarely offered in the marketplace. An exceptional opportunity to acquire a premium example of Akbar’s refined gold coinage.
