Akbar Coinage Mint at Haridwar and Saharanpur
Present Haridwar district of Garhwal region was under Akbar at the time of Garhwal King Sahajpal.
Akbar had two copper coin mints at Saharanpur and Haridwar.
The present city of Haridwar was laid down by Raja Mansingh the minister of Akbar. After the death of Raja Mansingh Singh, the ashes of Raja Mansingh Singh were submerged in Ganges at Haridwar by order of Akbar. The last rites of Man Singh were performed in Haridwar.
Manmohan Sharma (1979) describes about Man Singh Chhatri (Canapy of Mansingh) that it constructed in Mogul style.
Raja Man Singh renovated Har-ki –Faidi. Raja Man Singh also built a couple of temples in Haridwar.
The copper for coins was bought from Garhwal for Akbar Coinage Mint of Haridwar and Saharanpur.
