Moghul Era coin Mint locations?

3 posts • viewed 87 times
Hi all,
I would like to buy a coin, possibly a Rupee, as a gift for a friend who is from Bangladesh that reflects a Historical tie to his geographical homeland. I listed six (6) Mints that existed during some Moghul's Dynasties:
'Multan', 'Akbamagar', Lahore', 'Surat', 'Nagar', and 'Khandhar'
Does anyone know which, if any, of these old Mints were located within the geographical area in what is now known as Bangladesh?

Thank you.. Dan
None of the mints you listed are from Bangladesh, though 'Nagar' is a generic term and can't say which Nagar are you referring. Normally 'Nagar' is used to refer Ahmadnagar which is also not in Bangladesh.

I would suggest to get a coin of the mint 'Jahangirnagar'. It was the name of Dhaka(current capital of Bangladesh) during the Mughal times.
