Early English settlements in India had three broad grouping:
those in Western India (Bombay & Surat), those in South India (Madras) and
those in the Eastern Province of Bengal (Calcutta). Early English coins
accordingly developed along three broad strands in consonance with the local
acceptability of the coins for the purposes of trade.
The coins of Bengal were developed along the Mughal pattern,
those of Madras were struck along South Indian lines both in design and
metrology (Pagoda) as well as along Mughal designs. The English coins of
Western India developed along Mughal as well as English patterns. It was only
in 1717 AD that the English obtained permission from the Emperor Farrukhsiyar
to coin Mughal money at the Bombay mint. English pattern coins were struck at
the Bombay Mint. The gold coins were termed Carolina, the silver coins Anglina,
the copper coins Cupperoon and tin coins Tinny. By the early
1830, the English had become the dominant power in India. The rise of one
dominant power after over a hundred years of turmoil, enabled the enactment of
the Coinage Act of 1835 and for uniform coinage to be issued.
Newly designed coins with the effigy of William IV on the
obverse and the value on the reverse in English and Persian, were issued in
1835.
The coins issued after 1840 bore the portrait of Queen
Victoria. The first coinage under the crown was issued in 1862 and in 1877
Queen Victoria assumed the title the Empress of India.
Edward VII succeeded Queen Victoria and the coins issued
bore his effigy. The Indian Coinage Act, 1906 was passed which governed the
establishment of Mints as well as the coins that would be issued and the
standards that would be maintained (Rupee 180 grains, Silver 916.66 standard;
Half Rupee 90 grains, Quarter Rupee 45 grains). George V succeeded Edward VII.
Acute shortage of silver on account of World War I, led the British Government
to issue paper currency of One Rupee and Two and a half Rupees. The silver
coins of smaller denominations were issued in cupro-nickel. George V was in
turn succeeded by Edward VIII. However no coins were issued during his short reign.
Geroge VI ascended the throne in 1936. The compulsion of the Second World War
led to experiments in coinage where the standard rupee was replaced by the
"Quaternary Silver Alloy". The Quaternary Silver coins were issued
from 1940. In 1947 these were replaced by pure Nickel coins.
India attained freedom on 15th August 1947.
However the existing coinage was continued as the frozen series till January 26th
1950 when India became Republic.
