This exceptional Copper Dam represents a significant piece of Mughal numismatic history, minted during the reign of Emperor Akbar (AD 1556-1605), one of India’s greatest rulers. Struck at the prestigious Ahmadabad Mint, this scarce copper denomination showcases the refined coinage standards of the Mughal era.

The coin features distinctive design elements: the obverse displays a dotted dividing line separating “Falus” and “Ahmadabad,” while the reverse bears the Islamic calendar (Ilahi) year at the top and month designation at the bottom. Weighing 20.10 grams with a diameter of 21.30mm, it exhibits a Very Fine condition, demonstrating excellent preservation for a 400+ year-old artifact.

Collectors prize Akbar-era coins for their historical significance and artistic merit. This piece is particularly valuable due to its scarcity and the prominent Ahmadabad Mint attribution. The Mughal period represented an apex of Indian civilization, and currency from Akbar’s reign reflects the empire’s administrative sophistication and cultural richness. This collectible offers both historical investment potential and scholarly interest for serious numismatists and history enthusiasts.
