Mughal Empire, Akbar (AH 963–1014 / 1556–1605 AD), Agra Mint, Silver Rupee, AH 970, “Khallad Allahu on Top” type, broad flan, (Wt: 11.38 grams, Dia: 30.02 mm)

Obverse: Persian legend naming Jalal al-Din Muhammad Akbar Badshah Ghazi, with Khallad Allahu at the top. The date AH 970 appears in the lower right quadrant of the central quatrefoil; the ruler’s titles and mint name, Dar al-Khilafa Agra, appear in the margin.

Reverse: The Kalima Shahada within a pentafoil, with the names of the four Caliphs in the margin.

Struck on a generous flan, this very scarce date-placement variety has the date in the lower right quadrant. This arrangement is not listed on Zeno.
