As'adnagar (city of joy) was the name given to Aklooj in Solapur district, Maharashtra, by Aurangzeb when he received the news of the capture of Chhatrapati Sambhaji by Mughal commander Sheikh Nizam Muqarrab Khan, while the imperial camp was situated there. Many early numismatists had read the name as 'Sa'adnagar' by misreading the extant mintname on pieces known to them, unaware of this historical fact. But clear presence of an Alif' in the mintname on this coin corroborates the reading as 'As'adnagar' and makes the coin fit well in the historical context. RY 5 is perhaps the last RY known for the mint to have functioned and coins show a distinct local character in form of ornamentation.
