Really a good find ! This dam dated 985 AH is well from Malpur with clear well centered mintname and date.
Not a common mint and your coin is remarkable...

One is shown on zeno data base but with just a fraction of the mintname: http://www.zeno.ru/showphoto.php?photo=79887

Thanks Bernard sir, actually the person who sold this coin to me had got a coin hoard of 16kg of copper coins of Akbar's from somewhere in Punjab.. And he could find 7-8 coins of Malpur only.. That shows how scarce coins of this mint are, I was quick enough to get my hand on a good piece..
