Watch List notes:

ROHILKHAND: NAJIBABAD:LOT of 21 silver rupees: In the name of Shah Alam II: KM-96.1: (without any symbol right of the regnal year) AH1175/2, 11xx/3, 1176./4 (2 pcs), year 4, 1177/4, and year 6; and KM-96.2: (with stylized katar pointing upwards) year 6, 1184/11, 1187/14 (2 pcs), 1194/22, 1198/25, 1198/26 (4 pcs), 1199/26 (2 pcs), year 26, and 1200/27; in plastic envelopes with identification; all VF or better, mostly EF; retail value $750, lot of 21 piecees, ex Paul Stevens Collection. Najibabad was seized by Awadh in AH1187/1188, but the Rohilla nawab Faizullah Khan was allowed to continue his rule in Rampur as vassal under Awadh. It is thus likely that the 1187-1200 rupees were struck at Rampur, but with the pseudo-mint name Najibabad. The Rohilla descendents still live in Rampur, but without any formal authority under the Republic. Contemporary issues actually struck at Najibabad under Awadh authority bear a whiskered fish instead of the symbolic katar to the right of the regnal year. Ghausgarh, a fortress near Muzaffarnagar, is another possibly location of the pseudo-Najibabad mint after AH1187.

Estimate: 400-600 USD
