Akbar, the lesser great...


Apparently, Akbar "the lesser great" minted coins with images of Lord Ram and Sita!! ( If I am not mistaken, there is an Akbar Mint at Fathepur Sikri, right below Dargha of Salim Chisti. May be these coins were minted there...)

Imagine a bunch of Mullahs visiting ancient books to pickup images and then seeking approval of Akbar.....they even kept the crown of Lord Ram on his head....thats so cool...

I find the images and calligraphy awesome! (But that's just me!!)
