About extremely fine, Extremely rare.
Stylistic comparisons indicate without doubt that the coin was struck at Dharur, soon after its impressive fortress was captured by the Mughals during the first viceroyalty of Deccan of Prince Aurangzeb. However, unlike other issues the coin only bears the Islamic alias of Dharur 'Fatehabad' as mintname. Most likely it was struck immediately after the victory and the renaming of Dharur. Issues with name 'Fatehabad Daroor' follow this transient phase.
