Toned, extremely fine, scarce.
Ex Dr V.J.A. Flynn Collection.
During the last decade of Akbar's reign, his son Salim, the later emperor Jahangir grew increasingly restive in his desire to assume supreme power. He rebelled outright several times and as governor of the Subah of Allahabad, refused to recognize Akbar's suzerainty. He issued coins from this mint anonymously without following the imperial style.
