Comment
- Weight varies 10.7 - 11.6 grams- After the debacle of the William and Mary issue, the Bombay Presidency came out with Rupees with Persian Inscriptions in the name of Farrukhsiyar... They placed a crown (hinting at the coins being issues under the English Crown) as a mark in the 'Seen' of Julus on Reverse
Interesting fact
The 1 Rupee coin from Bombay Presidency (British India) made of Silver and weighing 11.44g has an interesting fact that it was minted during the reign of Farrukhsiyar, who was the Mughal Emperor of India from 1713 to 1719. This coin was minted between 1126-1130 AH (1714-1718 AD) and was a standard circulation coin during that time.
