1 Dhilingo - Mahabat Khan Junagadh

Junagadh's copper coinage of this period was issued under the Babi dynasty, a line of Nawabs whose authority derived from a Mughal-granted governorship that gradually hardened into hereditary rule as Delhi's power collapsed. Mahabat Khan I, who gave his name to this type, ruled from 1758 and spent much of his tenure navigating the competing pressures of Maratha expansion and British encroachment along the Kathiawar peninsula. The long date range on this type reflects continuous re-striking from the same nominal authority rather than a single reign's output.
