| Akbar (1556-1605 AD), Copper Dam (5), Dar al-Khilafat Agra Mint: (a) with Fi Tareekh legend on obverse and Sikka Fulus, with Agra placed below Sikka on reverse, AH 966, 20.78g. An early issue with lithe calligraphy and full AH date in words. The AH date in numbers is absent in this variety. (b) with Agra written above Khilafat in the mint-name, AH 977, 20.70g. (c) with dotted line dividing inscriptions on both sides, AH 982, 20.57g. The 'dotted divider' type was used for Ahmedabad, Chainpur, Agra and the rarer mints of Anhilwara Patan, Shahr Patan and Daulatabad 'urf Baroda. The Agra coins have AH date on both sides. (d) with Khilafat, AH 985, 20.82g. For a brief period before the introduction of the 'Allah' type, the epithet of Agra changes to 'Khilafat' from 'Dar al-Khilafat' indicating it was not a seat of Caliphate, but the Caliphate itself. This is interesting considering Akbar's interest in kingship and divinity at this time. (e) with Allah inscribed in the centre of reverse, AH 987, 20.67g. The word 'Allah' appears on Dams of Agra mint for a brief period. It is interesting that Akbar was grappling with the concept of divinity around the same time. (5 Coins) |
