The coins belong to the years 1186/14 or 13. It seems that they were a part of the currency parcel circulating at the same time in the upper parts of Uttar Pradesh. They were definitely minted by the Rohillas, most probably by Hafiz Rahmat Khan.

The town of Sambhal is situated in the old Muradabad district. It is a Muslim dominated area even today. The earliest occurrence of this name is on the copper Dams of Akbar, where after the mint closed down until the time of Shah Alam II when the Rohillas re-started it to mint their Rupees. The coins have been unlisted in major catalogues as they are rare.
