Gurramkonda (Formerly
Sikandarah) Mint
Coins were issued from the Gurramkonda
mint by:
Moghuls Aurangzeb
History
The mint-name on these coins
was read as 'Sikandarah' - however it was certainly inaccurate given the style
and fabric of the coin and the articulation of letters evident on the coin.
Better specimens revealed 'Gurramkonda' to be the right contender, fitting well
with Mughal presence in the region pursuing a campaign against the
Marathas.(quote taken from Classical Numismatic Gallery)
