R. Burn— The Mints of the Mughal Emperors . 
(E.D., VII, 423). It is not far from Sadhaura (wrongly spelt Shadhura 
in E.D.), and will not be found on most modern maps, but is given in 
Rennell’s map of Hindostan of 1782. This is no doubt the place 
■which Capt. Vost mentions 1 as between Saharanpur and Ludhiana, and 
it seems to be a probable position for a mint in Shah ’Alam’s time, 
although the site near Agra is also a possible one.” 
I am unable to find anything at all in favour of Chopra being a 
mint of the Mughals. The Mustafa-abad of the Mainpuri District only 
appears on our maps as it is the village at the headquarters of a tahsil 
(since 1824) and gives its name to a pargana. The Mainpuri Gazetteer 
(p. 746) gives no historical connections with the place. The reference 
to Elliott’s mention of Mustafa-abad in the Panjab does not help 
much, as it refers to the impoverished people of the place, and includes 
it with others as “ old seats of population; ” I can find no later re¬ 
ference of any importance attaching to it. Mr. C. S. Delmerick, how¬ 
ever, called my attention to the fact that Rampur, capital of the native 
state of that name in the United Provinces was also known as Mustafa- 
abad. 2 A possible objection to this identification is that a native his¬ 
tory says the city was founded in 1189 A.H. (1775 A.H.) while the 
coins are dated as early as 1184 A.H. On the other hand the history 
of the Rohillas used by Hamilton, 3 shows that Faizullah was settled 
at the city of Rampur as early as 1165 or 1168 A.H. (1754), and this 
is accepted by all writers. 4 We know that the towns occupied by the 
other heads of the Rohillas, Bareilly, Aonla, Bisauli, Muradabad, and 
Najibabad were all issuing coins, and it seems to me most probable 
that the Mustafa-abad mint was at Rampur. 
Mumbai. —As in the case of Arkat I have included coins of the East 
India Company. 
Nagpur. —I think there can be no doubt that the coin on which the 
mint was read by Rodgers 5 as Dar-ul-barat Kandi is really Dar-ul-bara- 
kat Nagpur, as read by Vost and King, 6 and I have therefore omitted 
Kandi. It has been suggested to me by Mr. Nelson Wright that Nagor 
should be read for Nagpur, and he prefers that reading on his coin of 
’Alamgir II. 
Nasrullanagar. —A coin of this mint was in the find referred to under 
Muhammadnagar and I expect the place w r as somewhere in Rohilkhand
