Renowned as a flourishing centre of commerce, Khambat (Cambay) was Gujarat’s foremost port from the 14th century onward. Its importance was recorded by celebrated travellers such as Marco Polo and Ibn Battuta. Marco Polo notably observed that, despite widespread piracy across the Indian Ocean, the Gulf of Khambhat remained comparatively safe for merchants, enhancing the port’s commercial reputation. As the principal maritime outlet for Patan, Khambhat also held considerable strategic importance. During the Mughal expansion into Gujarat, Akbar dispatched his general Itimad Khan to besiege and capture the town, after which Mirza Aziz Koka (Kokaltash) was appointed the province’s first Mughal Viceroy. The princely state of Khambhat was later established by Mirza Jafar Mumin Khan, who assumed the title of Nawab in 1730.Shah Alam Bahadur I, the third son of Aurangzeb Alamgir, succeeded to the Mughal throne after defeating his brother Prince Azam Shah at the decisive Battle of Jajau on 8 June 1707. Azam Shah had proclaimed himself emperor at Ahmednagar and was advancing towards Agra to assert his claim when he was decisively defeated, securing Shah Alam’s accession.<o:p></o:p>

Note:&nbsp;After the Mongol conflict at Kara in AD 1292, political authority within the Delhi Sultanate began to shift from Sultan Firuz Khilji to his ambitious nephew, Ala ud din Khilji. Ala Ud Din sought Firuz’s permission to raid Chanderi but instead struck deep into the Deccan, plundering Devagiri, the wealthy capital of the Yadavas. Laden with immense spoils, he returned north in AD 1296, apologizing for the unauthorized venture and promising Firuz a large share of the booty. To secure his pardon, Ala ud din lured the Sultan to Kara-where he murdered him and proclaimed himself Sultan Ala ud Din Muhammad.<o:p></o:p>In the aftermath, Firuz’s widow proclaimed her younger son&nbsp;Qadr Khan&nbsp;as Sultan&nbsp;Rukn al-Din Ibrahim, even though the elder son, Arkali Khan, was based at Multan. Ibrahim’s position, however, received little support, and Ala Ud Din consolidated power in Delhi by securing the loyalty of nobles with the wealth from his campaigns. Ibrahim and his mother retreated to Multan but were soon captured along with Arkali.<o:p></o:p>Ibrahim’s reign lasted less than a year, yet his coinage is of considerable importance.

Note: Murtazabad is a small village in Mufti Ganj Tehsil, Jaunpur District, Uttar Pradesh, located in the Varanasi Division, approximately 19 km east of Jaunpur. Interestingly, the mint name “Murtazabad” is otherwise known from Maratha coinage of the Maharashtra region, where it was the name given to Miraj. The occurrence of the same mint name in 18th–19th century Uttar Pradesh is a noteworthy addition to numismatic knowledge.This specimen was found together with coins attributed to Murtazabad and appears to have formed part of a currency bag from Uttar Pradesh and Uttaranchal. Based on its find context, it is most plausibly a Rohilla issue, possibly struck under Hafiz Rahmat Khan.
