Photo from Shailen Bhandare (from
Ashmolean museum) who said: Humayun - 2nd reign, silver
Rupee, Agra mint, AH963.
The year 963 began on 16 November 1555. Humayun fell from the stairs of his
library as he hurriedly rushed to answer the prayer call clutching a load of
books on 27 January 1556. He died three days later. This coin must therefore
have been struck in the last 2.5 months of his life
