Tirchanapali' on the coin is modern Tiruchchirappalli. Extremely rare Mughal style coins were struck bearing this mint-name after 1693-94 when Mughal forces under Zulfiqar Khan, pursuing a campaign against the Maratha Chhatrapati Rajaram besieged at Gingee, threatened Queen Mangammal, the regent of the Nayaka kingdom of Madurai, whose capital at the time was based at Tiruchi. The queen warded off the Mughal danger by paying a tribute, some of which might have been paid in form of these coins which were struck to acknowledge her obeisance to the Mughals.
