From this account we should expect the coin issued to 
proclaim ‘Azimu-sh-shin’s accession, to have been struck at 
‘Azimabad Patna, and the fact of its issue from ‘Azim’s name 
place would have been a happy augury. This coin has yet to 
be found, but we have that struck at Jahangirnagar, and it is 
quite natural to suppose that Farrukhsiyar ordered an issue in 
‘Azim’s name from his old capital. It would be too late 
entirely to prevent the issue when the news of ‘Azim’s death 
arrived.

104. ISLAMBANDAR ‘URF RAJAPUR. 
It is now ten years since I obtained an Aurangzeb rupee 
of the Islimbandar mint. This rupee bears the ordinary 
legends, having on the Obverse the ys yo ye formula, and on 
the Reverse the words cpsile cow Cwgle te... aie with ope 
yoy pile! in the two lowest lines. The Hijri year is wanting, but 
the regnal year 4x determines the date of issue as falling 
between 1108 and 1118 A.H. (1696—1706 A.D.). 
The location of Islimbandar remained for long a puzzling 
problem, but we have, I think, at last arrived at its solution.
