History

Moghuls

 

Marathas

See Maheshwari & Wiggins

Nasik became a stronghold of the Marathas in the mid-eighteenth century. Their first rupees were struck in the name of Alamgir II, and these were followed by coins with the name of Shāh ‘Ālam II.

The old Moghul name of Gūlshanābād was retained on the coins, although the name Nasik seems to have been used in all other matters once the Marathas had charge of the district.
