Pind Dadan Khan was also known as Nimak, situated on the west bank of the river Jhelum, was the main town in the salt range. Its principal economic activity was the mining of salt, 'nimak' in Persian. This town first came into Sikh hands in 1764 AD, when Charat Singh Sukarchakia (the grand-father of Maharaja Ranjit Singh), took control under a treaty with the Chief of that district. Sahib Khan Gakhar. In 1797 Ranjit Singh invaded Pind Dadan Khan defeating the Muslim chief. Later, in the 1830's, Maharaja Ranjit Singh farmed out the salt mines, including Pind Dadan Khan, to Raja Gulab Singh. Pind Dadan Khan returned to the hands of the Lahore Durbar in 1847. These coins were only minted in 1904 and 1905 VS is simply due to the fact that the mint, itself, was established in 1847 AD.
