v1.c8.s19.9

Mint Towns. In the three collections at the British Museum, the India Museum, Calcutta, and the Panjab Museum, Lahor, I count up twenty-eight coins of this sovereign. On three the place of coining is absent or illegible. The rest belong to the following mints; Lahor (1), Shahjahanabad (5), Akbarabad (5), Lakhnau (2), Patna (2), Cambay (1), Surat (3), Burhanpur (2), Aurangabad (4). I am very much surprised at finding Patna in the list, a place where he never had any authority. The other names represent fairly enough the local limits of his brief authority.
