Jalal ud-Din Muhammad Akbar (1556–1605 AD), the great Mughal emperor, was known for his strong administration and policy of Sulh-i-Kul (universal tolerance). He centralized revenue through the Mansabdari system and reformed land taxation under Todar Mal. Akbar’s reign saw a flourishing of Mughal architecture, with masterpieces like Fatehpur Sikri, Buland Darwaza, and Humayun’s Tomb. His coinage reflected both power and innovation, issuing silver rupees, copper dams, and gold mohurs with clear calligraphy and mint marks. The Urdu Zafar Qarin mint is rare, representing Akbar’s vast control over regional mints and his effort to standardize currency across the empire, strengthening trade and governance.
