Note. This is also a new Mughal mint. If the reading is right 
and it appears to be not open to question, the mint must, I think, be iden¬ 
tified with Dharur in the province of Aurangabad, a fort which, we read, 
was celebrated throughout the Dakhan for its strength and munitions of 
war (Elliot’s History of India Yol. VII, p. 20). It also seems to have been 
a large centre of trade; and was made the object of attack and plunder by 
‘Azam Khan general of Shah J ahan in 1040 A.H. It is further mentioned 
in the Muntakhab-ul-lubab as a place where supplies of fodder and corn 
sufficient for a large army were available (Elliot Yol. VII, p. 278). 
Fathabad was a Sarkar of Aurangabad and in the list of the forts of 
tbat Province given on p. lxxxvii of “ India of Aurangzeb,” by B. Jadu 
Nath Sirkar, is mentioned one called “Fathabad or Dhari.” It seems 
likely that this is the same place as the “ Dharur ” of the historians. 
If so, there seems no need to look further to identify the mint from which 
the coin now figured issued. Dharur, I find from a note on p. 12 of Elliot’s 
History, Yol. VII, is situated on the road east of Ahmadnagar.
