Reverse - Ilahi 3/46 Ardibihisht.

so less for Mint that I can't figure out that.

"This series of square falus were minted in Burhanpur initially as mintless issues but later with the mint name Burhanpur during the period of siege of Asirgarh.
Ref.: Numismatic Digest, vol. 40 (2016)"

Thanks

I tried to trace my understanding -
obv - Akbar shahi (bottom - very less of hashtum hissa ?? )
Rev - 48 Ilahi(red) Ardibihisht(green)

I don't see zerb or mint.
