The city of Fatehnagar (Khadkee) was founded
by Malik Ambar in 1610. It is widely believed that Aurangzeb changed its name
to 'Aurangabad' during his second viceregal term in the Deccan in 1652-53.
However, coins struck with the mint name 'Aurangabad' prove that this name
change had been in effect as early as AH1048. This coin proves it had been in
vogue in RY12 of Shahjahan, which corresponds to c.1638-39. The name-change
must therefore have taken place during Aurangzeb's first term as the viceroy of
Deccan (1636-1643). (From Shailendra Bhandare)
