It was used by Baba Banda Singh Bahadur Ji...
He repaired the old Imperial fort of Mukhlispur , occupied by him at the time of his conquest of Sadhaura, gave it the name of Lohgarh and established his capital there. He had become a king all but in name. He had conquered many a territory and governed it through his deputies. He commanded a large army of devoted followers and had a capital and palaces to live in. He now struck a coin in the name of Gurus Nanak-Gobind Singh with the Persian inscription :
Sikka zad bar har do alam Tegh-.i-Nanak wahib ast,
Fateh Gobind Singh Shah-i-Shahan Fazal-i-Sacha Sahib ast.
'Struck coin in the two worlds, by the grace of the true Lord,
Victory to Gobind Singh, the King of Kings;
The sword of Nanak is the granter of desires.'
On the reverse were the words :
Zarb ba aman-ud-dahar, masawwrat shahar,
Zina t- u- takht-i-mubarak-bakht.
'Coined at the refuge of the world, Model (painting) of city, the
Ornament of the Fortunate Throne.'
These were the titles and epithets assigned by him to Lohgarh, just as each imperial city had its appropriate honorific name. He also introduced an official seal for his Hukamnamas and Furmans or letters and orders. It bore the inscription.
Deg-o-Tegh- o-Fateh Nusrat-i-bedirang,
Yaft az Nanak Guru Gobind Singh.
'Kettle (the means to feed the poor), Sword (the power to protect
the weak and helpless), Victory and Unhesitating Patronage (are)
obtained from Nanak Guru Gobind Singh.
This inscription was later on adopted by the Sikh Misaldar Sardars and rulers for their coins.
