† Coins of India. Princely States. Awadh, Silver Rupees (8), Najibabad, in the name of Shah ‘Alam II, AH (119)3 Year 20, AH (120)5 Year 31, Year 33, AH (12)10 Year 36, AH (12)15 Year 42, AH (12)16 Year 43, AH (121)6 Year 43, Year 44, various symbols (KM 116.1, 116.12, 116.4, 116.5, 116.15). Very fine to good very fine.(8) The two Year 43 Rupees have different symbols, the second being particularly interesting in as much as it has Persian letter e in the loop of the letter sin of jalus, and a word beginning alif lam to the left of the regnal year, as well as the usual Persian letter mim and fish symbol. Najibabad passed to the British in 1801 (AH 1216-1217). In his recent book, Dr Paul Stevens states that so far no archival evidence has been found to support the idea that the British continued to strike coin at the mint and that the mint may have ceased operation before the British administration started. The two Year 43 Rupees of typical Najibadad fabric indicate the mint was still operating in AH 1216. The Year 44 Rupee, on the other hand, is typical of another series with mintname Najibabad which are attributed to the mint of Jagadhri. Part of the David Fore Collection of British Indian Coins. £120-150
