Description
Mughal Empire, Akbar(c. 1556-1605CE), Copper Dam, 20.20grms, AH985, Minted at Malpur, Very Fine+, Very Scarce. Malpur is associated with Akbar’s western Indian operations following the Mughal conquest of Gujarat (1572–73 CE). The mint reflects efforts to stabilise newly subdued territories after the defeat of the Muzaffarid Sultanate of Gujarat and to secure routes linking Gujarat with Rajputana and the imperial core. Coins from Malpur indicate Mughal administrative penetration during an active phase of military consolidation.
