After the fall of Qutbshahi Sultanate in 1687 by Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb substantial part of South India fell into Mughal hands. The town Kadapa played a very important role during the Mughal administration and military campaigns of South India. The coins struck here by Aurangzeb are thus having very important historical value.
