DERAJAT: Pir Hasan Khan, dates unknown, AE paisa (6.04g), KM--, unpublished type, the first reported issue in the name of the local governor Pir Hasan Khan; uncertain date or regnal year (perhaps year 23 of Shah Alam II); reverse filled with the word rayij, as found on later paise of Dera and Derajat; possibly unique, About VF, RRR. From the consignor: Hasan Khan Laskrani was a Balouch ruler who ruled Cis-Indus Punjab from 1770-1779. He was a Wazir to Fateh Khan Jaskani, and upon his death was able to keep himself in power by keeping Fateh Khan's son, Hayat Khan, under a close surveillance at the Mankera Fort, even after Hayat Khan had attained a Majority. His rule was at the time when Sikh Bhangi Sardars were a predominant force in Cis-Sutlej Punjab. The First Occupation of Multan led by Sardar Jhanda Singh Dhillon took place within his rule (from the Gazette of Dera Isma'il Khan).
