Note: The mint-name Sitpur is identified with Siddhpur, presently the taluka headquarters in Patan district, Gujarat state. It came to prominence as a religious and commercial center in the early medieval period, particularly under the rule of the Chaulukya dynasty, and was named after Jayasimha Siddharaja, the Chaulukya king. The religious significance of Siddhpur lay in its auspicious status as a place to conduct passage rituals for the deceased, particularly mothers. Commercially, Siddhpur was a hub of the textile trade, exporting wares as far as Egypt. The political center of medieval Gujarat was located at nearby Patan, also known as Anhilwara Patan.

In the late 16th century, Akbar conquered Gujarat and made Ahmadabad its regional capital. Patan and its vicinity lost its political importance, but not the religious and commercial. Towards the end of Akbar&rsquo;s reign, a regional mint was opened at Siddhpur which struck coins with the mint name inscribed as &lsquo;Sitpur&rsquo;.Curiously, all silver coins of the mint, dated Ilahi years 47-49, bear only one month (Mihr). Gold issues of the mint are extremely rare &ndash; less than five specimens are reported with only two being offered at auctions in past thirty years. They are all dated in the 47th year with Farwardin as the month of issue.
