While I sometimes do recognize the kalima, I am pretty sure this one would have confounded me. Overlordgarh 1 forces of darkness and ignorance 0.

Correction: the mint is Lahore, not Agra as I had thought earlier.
I was right the first time around  ::)
The mint is indeed Agra. The mint name can be seen in the margins in this example.

I love that the type of rupee expresses the same ogee motif that Akbar's architectural efforts utilize.
And you have a well centered coin Overlord. NICE!
