Jalalaldin Muhammad Akbar Badshah Ghazi with date & khald allah Taa’la around, mint name below zarb Dhaka, 3-4 specimen known till date, very fine+, extremely rare. Note: Towards the end of Akbar's reign, his trusted general, Raja Man Singh of Amber, was appointed the governor of Bengal to quell the rebellion of 'Isa Khan, a powerful Bengali Muslim landholder who had been challenging Mughal authority in East Bengal for some time. In the course of his campaign, Man Singh captured Dhaka in 1602 and established it as his base. He resided in Dhaka until early 1605, when, upon learning of Akbar's final illness, he returned to Agra. Akbar passed away on October 27, 1605, corresponding to 14 Jumada 2, AH 1014. This coin is dated AH 1015, which commenced nearly seven months later, therefore it should be regarded as a posthumous issue struck in Akbar's name.
