Comment
- The coins bear the frozen date AH1215 (AD1800-1801), but were struck between 1832-1835 AD and not at Surat, as the mint on the coin suggests, but at the new Bombay mint. The coins were declared legal tender by Procalmation dated 17 October 1832. Coinage of this new improved silver money continued at the Bombay mint until December 1835, when the Company's standard rupee currency replaced it.- Frozen date and Regnal Year (AH 1215 / RY46)

Interesting fact
The 1 Rupee coin from Bombay Presidency (British India) made of Silver weighing 11.59 g, minted during the reign of Shah Alam II in 1215 (1832), features an interesting fact. The coin's design includes an inscription in Urdu, which reads, "Sikka zad bar haft khwan aur khilafat-e-sultani" (The coin is struck on the seventh day of the week, and the sovereignty is of the Sultan). This inscription highlights the significance of the Islamic calendar and the importance of the Sultan's rule in the region.
