The mint at Saharanpur became active under Ghulam Qadir, the Rohilla upstart, when he took over the control of Delhi in 1789. When he was driven out by the Marathas under the Sindhias, the city fell under their control and remained so until the second Anglo-Maratha War. In 1792, the Sindhia governor for Saharanpur was Bhairav Pant Tatya. This coin is struck under his tenure.
