This is I believe the first square area rupee recorded of 
a Shébjabanabéa Mint. Coins from this mint of the early 
rs of Aurangzéb appear to be rare, the earliest date in the 
Ei M C. is 1072: 4. In the sale catalogue of the ite King 
collection a coin of this mint (No. 3847) is recorded of the Maree 
1069, with the 340 — couplet. I think this must be a 
error for 1079. 
The other mints which issued square area type rupees are, 
Akbarébad, Junagadh and Jahdngirnagar: while there is a 
square area type kha of Akbarnagar (No. 706) in the B.M.
