Comment
Peshawar was taken from the Mughal Empire in this year, AH1151, and held until his death in 1160, but the double rupee was struck only in 1151, and single rupees virtually every year until 1160, when Peshawar was lost to the Afsharids and incorporated into the rising Durrani kingdom. Because of its proximity to the expanding Sikh state, some Sikh influence soon became apparent at Peshawar, which finally came under Sikh overlordship in 1818, seceded to the British in 1849.Interesting fact
