Comments
Najibabad was a Rohilla mint until 1774, when the town was taken over by Awadh. It then passed to the British in 1801 (AH 1216-1217). According to Prinsep, operations at the Najibabad mint ceased with Rupees of RY 43 of Shah ‘Alam II. Rupees with this mint name, with later dates, and the Rohilla katar mintmark must have been struck elsewhere. There is a reference to the “Old Jagadhree” Rupee struck by one, Rani Sookum, of the year 47. All the present coins are of the same style and were found together. Coins with dates prior to "AH1221//47" have been found with the same characteristics as those issued by the Jagadhri mint, and have been attributed to that mint. A single coin is known that, instead of bearing the name of the pseudo-mint of Najibabad, is engraved with the name "Jagadhri" and has the date "AH1205//31," lending greater credibility to the other dates.
Rani Sookum (AD1806 - 1808 ), Widow of Sher Singh.
Pseudo Mint - Najibabad (Jagadhri)
