Nabha State, Hamir singh & Jaswant singh, Rupee , Nabha mint, INO Ahmed Shah Durrani, Rare.

[sarwar khan]

The ruling house of Nabha enjoys a joint descent together with those of Patiala and Jhind, from Phul, through his son Tiloka. Hamir Singh, great-grandson of Tiloka, founded the city of Nabha in 1755. In 1763 he sided with the Sikh sardars in their fight with the Mughal Viceroy Zain Khan, and was confirmed in the possessions of all the territories he had freed from the Mughal power. He established almost complete independence, and succeeded in creating a state under the name of the city he founded.

Jaswant Singh, son of Hamir, succeeded in 1784 and assumed the title of Raja. He joined his Phulkian kinsmen and entered into treaty relations with the British, in opposition to the court at Lahore. He maintained cordial relations with the Emperor in Delhi and secured recognition of his father's conquests and high titles of honour. His younger son and successor, Raja Sri Devendra Singh, attempted to hedge his bets by remaining aloof during the Anglo-Sikh War. On securing their victory, the British charged him with intriueging with the enemy and abrogating his treaty responsibilities. Large tracts of territory were confiscated and the raja deposed in favour of his eldest surviving son.

Nabha state Ruled by the phulkaria clan. It was a part of Cis-sultlej States. The last coins were struck during the time of Hira Singh,1871 - 1911 but those coins were only for gift purposes not for circulation
