BENGAL PRESIDENCY: AR rupee (11.57g), Jahangirnagar (Dacca), AH1183 year 10, Stv-5.50, KM-—, Prid—, obverse legend rearranged, used only in year 10, some very light corrosion, still very attractive, VF, RRR, ex Paul Stevens Collection, ex Nicholas Rhodes Collection. Jahangirnagar (Dacca, now 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 in AH1179-1183, thereafter with the mint name Murshidabad in 1183-1185, although the "Murshidabad" pieces struck at Dacca are 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.
