About extremely fine, slight toning and a couple of test mark on edge, extremely rare. In his book, Dr Paul Stevens relates that the Nawab of Bengal, Mir Kasim Ali Khan, moved his capital from Murshidabad to Monghyr in 1761. However, a dispute with the British led to the latter sending an army to Monghyr where they captured the fort in October 1763. Extremely rare Mohurs and Rupees are known with mintname Monghyr and dated AH 1176 Year 4. No other coins are known from this mint. AH 1176 finished on 11 July 1763, ie a few months before the British occupation. Hence these coins must have been issued by the Nawab.
