The town of Mulher with its adjoining hill fort, presently located in Nashik district of Maharashtra, was the capital of the small Rajput kingdom of Baglana, strategically located on the trade route between Surat and the Deccan. In late 1637, the Mughal armies under Aurangzeb attacked Baglana with a view to separate the state from attempts of Shahaji Bhonsle to form an anti-Mughal alliance. Bahirji, the king of Baglana was defeated and accepted Mughal sovereignty in March 1638. Aurangzeb renamed the town 'Aurangnagar' after this victory.The Nisars of this mint are the first ever pieces known for the Nisar-type coinage of Shah Jahan.
