Description
Mughal Empire, Akbar(c. 1556-1605CE), Copper Dam, 20.70grms, AH980, Minted at Sherkot, Very Fine+, Scarce. Sherkot (also read as Shahkot) is linked to Akbar’s consolidation of the Punjab region during operations against Afghan groups that continued to challenge Mughal authority after the Sur period. The mint reflects Mughal efforts to secure the Punjab–Indus corridor, vital for frontier defence and communication with Lahore and the north-west.
