The Akbar Silver Rupee Square Coin from the Ahmedabad Mint is a notable coin from the Mughal Empire, specifically during the reign of Emperor Akbar (reigned from 1556 to 1605). These coins are significant because of their unique square shape, which was rare for currency during that period, as most coins were round.
The coin is typically made of high-quality silver and is inscribed with Persian inscriptions, which were the official language of the Mughal court. The square shape was likely used for its distinctiveness, setting it apart from other coins of the time.
The Ahmedabad Mint was one of the prominent mints during Akbar’s reign, and it produced coins in various denominations. The square silver rupee coins from this mint often bear the name of the mint and the ruler (Akbar) on the reverse side. These coins are valuable to collectors of Mughal numismatics due to their historical and artistic significance.
