DERAJAT: Pir Hasan Khan, dates unknown, AE paisa (7.92g), "82", KM-, ruler's name // the word rayij ("current"), with the date, probably AH(11)82 and year 10 at the top; these numbers would be correct for the reign of the Mughal Shah Alam II, but a trifle early for the reign of Hasan Khan Laskrani (AH1182 = 1768/69 AD), porous surfaces, crude VF, RRR.
From the consignor: Hasan Khan Laskrani was a Balouch ruler who ruled Cis-Indus Punjab from 1770-1779. He was a Wazir to Fateh Khan Jaskani, and upon his death was able to keep himself in power by keeping Fateh Khan's son, Hayat Khan, under a close surveillance at the Mankera Fort, even after Hayat Khan had attained a Majority. His rule was at the time when Sikh Bhangi Sardars were a predominant force in Cis-Sutlej Punjab. The First Occupation of Multan led by Sardar Jhanda Singh Dhillon took place within his rule (from the Gazette of Dera Isma'il Khan).
Estimate: 100-140 USD
