† Coins of India. Princely States. Awadh, Gold Mohur, Najibabad, in the name of Shah ‘Alam II, Year 25, rev katar mintmark, 10.74g (similar to Rupee type KM 116). Very fine. It is very likely that these coins with the katar mintmark are not in fact Awadh issues but issues of the Rohillas with pseudo-mintname Najibabad, struck at the Rohilla stronghold of Ghausgarh. Contemporary issues of Awadh struck at Najibabad have the fish mintmark on the reverse and a large crescent on the obverse. Part of the David Fore Collection of British Indian Coins. £500-800
