This specimen was lot 7438 in Stack's Bowers NYINC sale (New York, January 2022), where it sold for $1,140. The catalog description[1] noted, "INDIA. Mughal Empire. Rupee, IE 50 (1605/6). Ahmadabad Mint. Akbar Jalal-ud-din Muhammad (the Great). NGC MS-63. This choice example was struck in the month of Khurdad and has a retains a brilliant and sheening luster that deflects and bounds light." The Mughal Empire stretched over most of India in the early seventeenth century and numerous mints struck silver rupees for the emperor. The Mughal Empire broke up in the eighteenth century under external attack, Hindu rebellion and civil war. This collapse allowed European colonizers entry into the subcontinent and eventual British control. The SCWC lists nineteen mints for this type, which was struck until 1606. The Ilahi Era (IE) was a solar calendar used during Akbar's reign for the dating of coinage and was abandoned a few years after his death.
