Very
few coins of Farrukh Siyar and Muḥammad Shāh are known from this mint.
Akluj was probably named As'adnagar after Zulfiqar
Khan's father As'ad Khan who had been first the vizier of Aurangzeb and later
that of Shāh ‘Ālam Bahādur. Subsequently he purposely retired
from the post of Viziership in order to accommodate
his son in his place. During his retirement he acted boldly and handed over
Jahāndār Shāh into the custody of Farrukh Siyar who naturally
felt greatly gratified by his cooperative gesture. Zulfiqar Khān was at
good terms with the Marathas particularly with Shahuji
Maharaj. There is a possibility that As'adnagar was named by Shāh
‘Ālam Bahādur in appreciation of As'ad Khan's help in occupying the
throne. Akluj (As'adnagar) has a fort
and it is a historical place. Several events of great importance have taken
place there. Aurangzeb was camping at Akluj when
Muqarrab Khan at Sangameshwar captured Sambhaji who
was later put to death in AD 1689. (taken from Todywalla).
