History & Coinage

Murtazabad is a small Village in Mufti Ganj Tehsil in Jaunpūr District of Uttar Pradesh. It is located in the Varanasi Division,19 KM towards East from District head-quarters Jaunpūr. Such a mint name existed only on the Maratha coin of the Maharashtra area which was the name given to Miraj. The occurrence of similar names during the 18th -19thcentury from Uttar Pradesh is a good addition to numismatic knowledge.
