Watch List notes:

ROHILKHAND: "NAJIBABAD":LOT of 24 silver rupees: In the name of Shah Alam II: KM-: regnal year 43, year 44 (2 pcs), year 45 (3 pcs), year 46 (8 pcs), and year 47 (10 pcs), with the pseudo-date 1213 on issued of years 43-44 and "21" on 45-47 (often misinterpreted as AH1221, but probably just symbolic), all in plastic envelopes with identification; virtually all in EF condition or nearly so; retail value $800, lot of 24 pieces, ex Paul Stevens Collection. Najibabad was seized by Awadh in AH1187/1188, but the nawab Faizullah Khan was allowed to continue to 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 rule under the Republic. Contemporary issues actually struck at Najibabad under Awadh authority bear a whiskered fish instead of the symbolized katar to the right of the regnal year. Ghausgarh, a fortress near Muzaffarnagar, is another possibly location of the pseudo-Najibabad mint.

Estimate: 450-650 USD
