The neighbours of the Mug̱ẖals were not slow to recognise the
excellence of their coinage. Even the Ṣafavī monarchs of Persia adopted
certain features. The East Himalayan kingdom of Assam, hitherto content
to use the money of Bengal, and the adjacent state of Nepāl, which had
been without a coinage of its own for centuries, within fifty years of
Akbar’s accession had both adopted the rupee standard.
