The existence of a Traikutaka ruler named Madhyamasena was known from the discovery of the Matvan copperplate grant, found in North Konkan. In the coin legend, the letter 'Dhya' in the king's name has been inscribed a bit stylized, however judging by the engraving hand of the other letters the best name to fit it would be 'Madhyama'.

The coin is of thus high historic significance. There has been a long debate about the chronological placement of the Traikutakas but numismatic evidence makes it clear that they ruled

th in 4 century AD. This has great importance for chronology of art, politics and history of the Konkan and Deccan, in general.

Jitals of Pipala Raja are amongst the rarest of the 'bull and horseman' series.

Sharifabad was the alias of either Birbhum or Varddhaman in West Bengal. The region was conquered by Akbar during his first conquest of Bengal and used as a launchpad for subsequent campaigns to conquer the Eastern parts of the province. Coins of Sharifabad mint are extremely rare with only a very few specimens known, most of them with truncated and barely readable mintnames. On this specimen the mintname can be convincingly restructured.

This coin, bearing the usual 'Ilahi' legends of Akbar's coinage of that type, has the word 'Sitpur' written in a curious way which makes it read 'Saimur'. 'Saimur' was the ancient Arabic name of the seaport of Chaul on the Konkan coast so some early numismatists attributed these coins to Chaul. However, when the coins were struck the name 'Saimur' had fallen out of fashion for a long time and Chaul was firmly in control of the Nizam Shahi Sultanate. The additional word 'Darb' which was the denominational term for a half Rupee is also interesting to have appeared on a full Rupee coin. Similar coin was sold in CNG Auction 15 lot no. 114 @ 180000.

Stylistic comparisons indicate without doubt that the coin was struck at Dharur, soon after its impressive fortress was captured by the Mughals during the first viceroyalty of Deccan of Prince Aurangzeb. However, unlike other issues the coin only bears the Islamic alias of Dharur 'Fatehabad' as mintname. Most likely it was struck immediately after the victory and the renaming of Dharur. Issues with name 'Fatehabad Daroor' follow this transient phase.

Shah Shuja'a, the second son of Shahjahan, proclaimed himself the king in November 1657, following a succession dispute that erupted between his brothers Dara Shikoh, Aurangzeb and Murad Bakhsh when their father took severely ill. He was defeated by Dara near Benares but managed to secure from him a treaty that virtually made him the king in provinces of Bengal, Bihar and Orissa. Later Dara himself was defeated and killed by Aurangzeb and Shuja'a launched a campaign against the latter. Aurangzeb defeated Shuja'a at Khajwa in UP on 5th January 1659 and he was pursued back into his territories. A series of battles and defeats followed and Shuja'a finally sought asylum with the Raja of Arakan. After an unhappy few years in Arakan, his last days were spent in Tripura and Manipur.
