Well, it's a "temple token" in Akbar's name, made to resemble a square rupee with the date "988" (which would be AD 1580). But it almost certainly doesn't date from the 1500s. These square tokens with the "988" date are very frequently copied for use as temple tokens; it probably dates from the mid to late 1900s. I would also presume it is not made of silver, since these copies rarely are.
Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis
