The coin was found among a large number of Etawah 
rupees of Shah ‘Alam II, and this, together with its appear-

distance from that town. 
have been unable to find any definite trace of a town 
known as Anapnagar-Shahibad and the identity of the mint 
town is, I fear, up to the present a matter of ne We It 
seems possible, as suggested by my friend Dr. G. aylor, 
that Anipshahr in the District of Bulandshahr in on United 
Provinces, not nage far from Dehli, may be the origin of my 
coin. This town was founded by Raja Anip Rai Bargijar 
in the reign of Ja han ete and was named by him Anupnagar. 
The Tahsildar of Anipshahr informs me that this is the name

Emperors. We find it called by that name in the Farhatu-n-

**When Jhanki sustained a wo from the army of the 
Abdali and fled away with Ghaziu-d-din Khan , the Abdali

Elliot and Dowson, Vol. VIII, 147. The latter passage 
relates that Ahmad Shah laid the foundation of a cantonment 
at Anupshahr. fied area thus occupied is still, I am told, 
known as ‘‘ Cantonment.” 
In 1759 he as pitched his camp here, and organized 
the famous coalition of the Musalmans of Upper India against 
the Jats and Mahrattas, which led to the battle of Panipat 
in 1761. Passe et Gazetteer, econ il P- Red

We hear of Aniipshahr ig being used as a halting place 
for troops in 1773, i.e. 1187-8 a.H.—only a year or two before 
the date of the coin now ce ribed—-when ‘‘the combined
