Aurangzeb, AR Rupee, Gurramkonda, RY 3X

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.

Mint name here is written with a noon after "Gur" as گرنکنده but that's the correct orthographic articulation of the nasal consonant.
