The province of Bengal was ruled successively by the Suris, Muhammad Shahis, and the Karranis as tributaries to the Mughal emperor but this was an uneasy relationship. The Bengal sultans constantly raised disputes with their overlord Akbar leading to the annexation of the province in 1577 AD, after the deposition and execution of Daud Khan Karrani following the battle of Rajmahal. These rare first Mughal mohurs of Bang (Bangala) marked the occupation of a land that was never accepting of the Mughal rule.&nbsp;<o:p></o:p>The new province would prove to be the wealthiest and most fertile of the empire, and the expansion of revenue brought about by the acquisition of Bengal necessitated the creation of a new imperial position in 1579, that of Diwan or minister of finance for the provinces. The Diwan served as a sort of Governor-General, responsible for the collection and distribution of funds, reporting directly to the emperor, and would have been in charge of the administration of the increasing number of provincial mints. The Diwan thus controlled the levers of power in the provinces and became the most influential figure in the imperial court.<o:p></o:p>
