It s located halfway between Narnaul and Jhunjunu. It is in the copper mine area of Shekawati and according Irfan Habib, (An Atlas of the Mughal Empire) in 1595 a mint for copper.

Digging through some old auction lots online, I also came across a couple of specimens of Jahangir from the same mint.

So there is hope that coins of Akbar and may be Shah Jahan if not the later rulers of this mint would one day come to light..........
