Chandargarh Mint
The 'Chandargarh'
rupee is obviously a misreading, there is no such place existing that fits
the style/design context of the rupee. It is a coin from a strange series of
rupees which have previously been attributed to 'Gadraula ’
and 'Garha', but on second thoughts are more likely
to be of a mint called 'Karrah' (the Farsi orthography for both these
readings would exactly be the same, hence the problem!). The coin is similar to Shergarh, Kalpi etc and thus Karrah, located on the banks of Yamuna
further south of Kalpi is a good possibility.
