The Fish Coins of Arcot Nawab
The Mughal emperor, Aurangazeb, appointed a Nawab as the
governor for the provinces of North and South Arcot in Tamil Nadu. Thirteen
years after Aurangazeb's death, the Nawab claimed to be an independent ruler
and founded the dynasty of the Nawab of Arcot. The important Arcot Nawabs were
Sadat-uulah Khan I, Muhammad Ali also known as Walajah and Umdat-ul Umara. In the
19th Century, the English captured their territory.
