EXQUISITE
Accotding to the vazir of Akbar, there were 20000 pigeons in the court of Akbar. Each pigeon had a different purpose and they were breeded in Farghana. Some pigeons were used to send and receive messages while some solely for entertainment. Because Akbar was so fond of pigeons, a motif was put on the coin.
