Ahsanabad later known as 'Gulbarga' (presently in Karnataka) was founded by the Bahamani Sultans in the 14th century as their captital. Aurangzeb effectually occupied the city in 1098 AH and it was annexed in the Mughal Empire. Aurangzeb issued coins under the mint name Gulbarga and in his last ruling years the name was changed to Ahsanabad. Aurangzeb during his last years had appointed his son Kam Baksh as the subahdar (subaidar) of Bijapur on 16th February 1707.
