1 Dam - Aurangzeb Elichpur Mint

Aurangzeb's Elichpur mint operated in the Berar region of the Deccan, an area that became strategically critical during his prolonged southern campaigns against the Marathas. Unlike the empire's major mints at Surat or Lahore, Elichpur produced copper dam coinage in relatively modest quantities, and its output is less systematically documented than those of the imperial centers. Copper dam issues from Deccan provincial mints circulated hard in local bazaars and rarely survived intact.

The dam itself was already a dying unit by the mid-seventeenth century, with the paisa gradually supplanting it across northern markets.
