| Additional information |
Gingee — the hill fortress the Mughals called impregnable — was held by Rajaram, Shivaji's younger son, through nearly eight years of siege by Aurangzeb's general Zulfikar Khan. These fanams were struck during that siege period, financing a court and administration functioning entirely within fortified walls. When Gingee finally fell in 1698, Rajaram had already slipped out the previous year.
