| Additional information |
Muhammad Shah ruled for nearly three decades — an unusually long and stable reign by Mughal standards, though stability is a relative term for an empire hemorrhaging provincial authority to Maratha confederates and regional nawabs. The Islamabad mint operated in what is now Chittagong, Bangladesh, a deliberate naming choice by the Mughals to mark it as a "City of Islam" at the empire's eastern maritime frontier. It is frequently confused with the Pakistani capital, which did not exist until 1960.
