Auction: 13019 - North East Indian Coins from the Nicholas Rhodes Collection
Lot: 471

Sultans of Bengal, Nasir al-Din Nusrat, Tanka, 10.66g, Tirhut Mardan, undated, legends similar to previous lot (G&G. B883), very fine, scarce

The reading of the mint name as Tirhut Mardan, which would commemorate a military campaign into Tirhut is by no means certain. In JONS 207 (2011), Russel Haque and Nicholas Rhodes suggested the reading could instead be read as Sirhat mardan, i.e. the subduing of Sirhat (Sylhet).
