This exceptional copper 1/4 Dam represents a remarkable piece of Mughal numismatic history from the reign of Emperor Akbar (AD 1556-1605). Weighing 3.72 grams, this locally-issued Junagarh type coin features the ruler's name "Jalaluddin Akbar Ghazi ilahi 43" on the obverse and the Islamic Kalima inscription on the reverse—a distinctive combination that exemplifies the religious and political messaging of Akbar's era. What makes this coin particularly significant is its status as an unlisted variety, not documented in standard Krause-Mishler catalogs, marking it as a discovery for serious collectors. Minted in Junagarh during the governorship of Mirza Khurram (son of Mirza Aziz Koka), this piece captures a specific historical moment in Mughal provincial administration. Graded in Very Fine condition with excellent preservation for its age, this rare copper denomination showcases strong strike details and legible inscriptions. The coin's scarcity, combined with its historical significance and connection to Akbar's enlightened reign, makes it an invaluable addition to collections focusing on Mughal coinage, Indian numismatic history, or regional mint variations. An outstanding investment piece for discerning collectors.
