‘‘ Account of an event which occurred in the 27th regnal 
year of Sahib Qirin-sani (Shah Jahan) coinciding with the year 
da. 
“ Mir Ahmad son of Siyadat Khan was honoured with the 
title of Mir Ahmad Khan and entrusted with the Faujdari 
of Nasirabad and other places in Khandesh.” 
During the reign of Aurangzeb, the city of Nasirabad 
appears to have retained its importance and remained attached 
to the Province of Khandesh as will appear from the following 
quotation from Maasir-ul-umra, by Nawab Samsam-ud-daulah, 
vol. I, page 531 :—

“And subsequently Jalal Kakar was appointed to be the 
Faujdar and Tuyitldar of Nasirabad, etc. in the Province of 
Khandesh, under the orders of Sultan Aurangzeb Bahadur.”

Norr.—The coin is in bad preservation and it is somewhat 
doubtful whether the mint name is sufficiently clear to warrant 
the acceptance of an addition to the list of mint-towns of 
Aurangzeb. The type is new, but the reading which obviously 
Suggests itself is Nusratabad, and there seems hardly room for 
the « 4s’ between the ‘_~’ and the ‘)’. Nusratabad is a 
known mint and Mr. Whitehead published a coin struck at that 
Place in the year 1114-47, though of a different type [P. M. C. 
No. 1945].
