Nasik was renamed Gulshanabad by Shahjahan while he resided in the city, during his rebellion against his father Jahangir. The area around Nasik was in hands of the Mughal commander of Junnar at this time and most likely the mint was operated under his jurisdiction. It is one of the rarest mints for the ruler, and the coins constitute its very first issues. The Gulshanabad mint in the late 18th century became very prolific under the Marathas.
