Gokak is a small town located about 60 miles to the Northeast of Belgaum. It served as a garrison town in medieval Deccan and came into Mughal hands soon after the fall of Bijapur. It subsequently became the headquarters of an administrative subdivision under the province (Sarkar) of 'Azamnagar and was transferred to the Nawabs of Savanur when Abdul Rauf Diler Khan secured his tenure from Aurangzeb.

The mint continued striking coins in the reign of Shah AlamBahadur but the coins show a marked variance from earlier issues. The quality of engraving is poor and, peculiarly, 'Gokak' is written with an additional 'H' following the 'Go' as 'Goh Kak'.
