Thank you very much for this information, and so Kotri is a new mint for Jahangir...
I have had a look on my coins and "Kotri" well fits for some of them, with the legend beginning by "K";
on pictures of this thread, there is something written before the "kaf" of which should be "Kotri"? ending by "r" it seems : an epithet or not "Kotri"?
If you see another character before the "kaaf", then it is most likely Daryakot. From the photos I have seen, The "s"-like part at the beginning of the "kaaf" is quite big on the "Falus Jahangiri" type Kotri coins. On Daryakot dams, it is confined to the top, with the terminal part of the preceding character going under it.
