At 20.7 g this one looks to be a Dam of Akbar and I still have difficulties with Akbar coppers. Please help.

Dear asm

What are you doing with this useless, worthless piece of copper? Just give it to me and forget that you ever had it!  >:D
Just kidding. The mint is Chitor. I still don't have  one of these  :(.

Well, you had left me with no choice :o. A one man army could not afford to loose an entire collection to your army of "two-metre tall super-soldiers" which you had threatened to unleash on Asmgarh .... Will seek revenge some day...........Beware..... >:D

Obverse Sikka Falus Zarb Chittor (Stamped Copper Coin Struck at Chittor)


Reverse Fi Sanat Ek Hazar Ek (In the Year One Thousand One), 1001

Brilliant reconstruction of the legend. However in the mint-name Chitor, the te and waw should be connected. As it is written now, there is an Alif after the te.

Many thanks for the correction, Oesho.
