Aurangnagar is the Islamicate name of Mulher situated on the border of Maharashtra and Gujrat near Nashik. Mulher was besieged by Aurangzeb during his first term as the viceroy of Deccan and on 15 January 1638 (28 Sh'aban 1047) the Mughals stormed the lower fort where the Raja and his family resided. A month later, on 15 February, the Raja of Baglana Pratap Shah sent his mother along with the keys to eight other forts to Aurangzeb to beg for truce. The truce was accepted and the Raja was "consoled with a commander-ship of 3000 and an estate at Sultanpur, north of Tapi river". On 4th June 1638 (21 Muharram 1048) he vacated Mulher and his kingdom was annexed.” Coinage of Aurangnagar under Shah Jahan is extremely rare, especially ‘largesse’ or ‘nisar’ coinage, specially coined for charitable purposes.
