Note: Trichnopoly, Trichanapalli or Tiruchirapalli is an important city in South India on the bank of the Cauveri river, this place was the capital of the Nayaka kingdom of Madura. Its history goes back to the 3rd century B.C. when it was a small place called Uraiyur, the capital of the Cholas. Later on, in the 13th century, the Hoysalas of Dorasamudra conquered the place. They were soon ousted by the Pandayas of Madura. During the sixteenth century, it passed under the hands of the Nayaka rulers of Madura who seem to have retained it until the 18th century. It seems the Mughals controlled Trichanapalli for a very short time during the last decade of the seventeenth century. 

The local queen of Madura submitted to the Mughals in AD 1694. This has been mentioned in the manuscript named Nuskha-i-Dilkusha. The year 1694 corresponds to AH 1106-1107. The coin is important because of the fact that it is the southernmost mint of the Mughal Empire. Previously, it was supposed that Jinji or Nusratgarh was the southernmost mint town of Aurangzeb. It falls outside the boundaries of Suba Bijapur. It seems this was a victory coin struck soon after the conquest in 1694 to mark the Khutba and Sikka.
