  • Monetary Aspects of Bahmani Copper Coinage in Light of the Akola Hoard
    Monetary Aspects of Bahmani Copper Coinage in Light of the Akola Hoard Phillip B. Wagoner and Pankaj Tandon Draft: 9/24/16 **Please do not quote or disseminate without permission of the authors** The Bahmanis of the Deccan produced copper coinage from the very outset of the state’s founding in AH 748/1347 CE, but it was clearly secondary to the silver tankas upon which their monetary system was based. By the first several decades of the fifteenth century, however, as John Deyell has shown, the relative production values of silver and copper coinage had reversed, and there was an enormous expansion in copper output, both in terms of the numbers of coins produced and in terms of the range of their denominations (Fig.1).1 This phenomenon has attracted the attention of several scholars, but fundamental questions yet remain about the copper coinage and how it functioned within the Bahmani monetary system. Given the dearth of contemporary written documents shedding light on these matters, it is understandable that many would simply give up on trying to answer these questions. But to do so would be to ignore the physical, material evidence afforded in abundance by the coinage itself, including such aspects as its metrology and denominational structure, and most importantly, the indications of its usage patterns embodied within the composition and geographic distribution of individual coin hoards. Ultimately, we may wish to know why Bahmani copper coinage production should have undergone such a sudden expansion in the 1420s and 1430s, but in order to realize this goal, we must first address the physical nature of the coinage itself and what it can tell us about how it was used.

  • The Relations of the Mughal Empire with the Ahmadnagar Kingdom (1526-1636)
    THE RELATIONS OF THE MUGHAL EMPIRE WITH THE AHMADNAGAR KINGDOM (1526-1636) Thesis Submited foe tke *Degcee of Doctor (X Philosophy IN fflSTQRY BY MOHO. SIRAJ ANWAR SUPERVISOR Professor Iqtidar Alam Khan CENTRE OF ADVANCED STUDY DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY ALIGARH MUSLIM UNIVERSITY ALIGARH (INDIA) 1994 / f ; : ^ iO.i/1 - 1 3;rf;p ifl«(^ ABSTRACT During the first quarter of the sixteenth century the relations between the power ruling over North India, namely, the Lodi Empire and the Deccan kingdoms were generally at a very low key. But it is, of course, true that the Deccani kingdoms were not indifferent to the situation in the North. The sending of congratulatory letters to Babur by trte rulers of Ahmadnagar, Bijapur and Berar, on his success in 1526, goes to testify their eagerness to win favour with any ruler who appeared to gaining an upper hand in North India. Among them Ahmadnagar seemed to be particularly responsive to the developing political scenario in the North. The short term consideration of the Ahmadnagar Kingdom in cultivating friendly ties with the Mughals from the very beginning of their rule down to the end of Humayun's reign, and also with the Surs during their short lived rule over North India, was possibly that their military pressure on Malwa and Gujarat would render the latter two states less belligerent towards Ahmadnagar. But at the same time it should not be overlooked that from 1535 onwards Humayun appeared to be interested in extending his influence, if not actual rule, over Khandesh and Ahmadnagar which is borne out by his correspondence with Burhan Nizam Shah I as well as his making, while returning to Mandu from Ahmadabad, a detour across Khandesh.

While the items relating to the Department of Archaeology, Government of India, were supplied by my colleagues in the Department, to whom my thanks are due, the remain- ing ones, considerable in number and value, were obtained from others who are officially connected with the archaeological activities in the country, viz. the directors of explorations and excavations, the heads of the archaeological organizations in the States where they exist and the chiefs of the leading museums. I am immensely grate- ful to them for having readily sent their reports and, in many cases, illustrations for in- clusion in the Review. In almost all such cases, the sources of the material are obvious, and have not been individually acknowledged.
