Please help identify this heavy copper coin-20gm approx, seems to be Akbar's dam?

Oesho

Akbar, AE Dam, mint: Narnol, date: AH 962(sic.). Akbar reign started in AH963. Coins of Narnol with the date AH 962 are rather common. Perhaps an error for 966, with retrograde last digit.

Dear Oesho,

Do I read the date as 966 as below.

Dear Amit, I thought to read 962 (as this is a quite common date), but you may be right that it is 966.
