Jahangir. ½ Dam. Mint: Ahmedabad RY 4 - dotted border - very rare

[abhinumis]

Hi all,
Here is a pretty rare issue of Jahangir Ahmedabad mint. The coin is a half dam weighing 9.8gms. The peculiarity of this coin is the dotted horizontle border like that of Akbar's copper coins.
Obverse- falus Ahmedabad with dotted horizontal line in between
Reverse- Rawani, sanah 4 with dotted horizontal line in between

Indeed, a strange phenomenon. It is as if the engraver decided he had too much place. I would have thought engravers of all times would always have wished they have more place. The only thing I can think of is that the engraver made an error, or an accident happened while he was working on the die and he hid it with this device.
