BENGAL PRESIDENCY: AR rupee (11.54g), Jahangirnagar (Dacca), year 10, Stv-5.50, KM-—, Prid—, obverse legend rearranged, used only in year 10, one scratch on obverse, VF, RRR, ex Paul Stevens Collection. Jahangirnagar (Dacca, not Dhaka in Bangladesh) was brought under British control the same time as Patna (8 Rabi' II 1179), and produced coins under British control with the name Jahangirnagar AH1179-1183, thereafter with the mint name Murshidabad 1183-1185, but not distinguishable from those struck at Calcutta. Only the nazarana rupee was known to Pridmore, and all are of the greatest rarity. None have appeared in recent auctions filed on CoinArchives.
