Coins from India

Overview of the forms of government, the currency system and the mints of India.

Until the British East India Company expanded into India in 1835, each Indian state had its own coins. These were difficult to compare in value, and had all kinds of different names, such as Rupee, Mohur, Pana, Paisa.. For identification/cataloguing you have to look elsewhere for detailed information.
After 1835 the British East India Company had a monopoly for trade in India until 1853. A failed rebellion ensured that from 1858 all of India came under the British Crown. Victoria was the first empress of India until 1901. She was succeeded by Edward VII, then George V, Edward VIII and George VI. Their heads can be found on Indian coins from the time of 1858-1947.
In that last year, India became independent (and Pakistan split off).

In the early 1800s, you may come across coins with values in Cash or Pie.
From 1835 to 1947, more or less the same system was used throughout India.

In it, the Rupee was subdivided into 16 Annas. The Anna in turn was worth 12 Pies. So the Rupee was 192 Pies. The name Pice was also used. The Rupee contained 64 Pice, so to keep it simple: 1 Pice = 3 Pies.
Understandably, this non-decimal system was later abandoned. Since 1957, the Rupee has been used, which is divided into 100 Paisa.

Before the British period, each state had its own mint. The arrival of the British had a major influence on this. The coinage was concentrated in a few places.
This can be determined because a small detail has been added below the year of the coin.
If there is a dot, or a rhombus (“diamond”), the coin is minted in Bombay (present name Mumbai). If there is no sign, the mint is Calcutta (Kolkata).
Hyderabad also occasionally minted. Here a five-pointed star, a split diamond or a dot-in-diamond (dot in diamond) is in use as a mintmark. There is also sporadic minting in Lahore, hallmark: letter “L”.
The newly opened mint in Noida uses a dot or dot.
Modern Indian coins occasionally use a mint in another country. For example, here you see a letter “C” for Canada, while production was also made in Pretoria, Seoul and Mexico.

Overzicht van de regeringsvormen, het muntsysteem en de muntplaatsen van India.

Totdat de British East India Company in 1835 in India uitgebreid actief werd, had elk Indiaas staatje zijn eigen munten. Deze waren onderling moeilijk vergelijkbaar van waarde, en hadden allerlei verschillende benamingen, zoals Rupee, Mohur, Pana, Paisa.. Voor identificatie/catalogisering moet u elders op zoek naar gedetailleerde informatie.

Ná 1835 had de British East India Company tot 1853 het monopolie voor de handel in India. Een mislukte opstand zorgde ervoor, dat vanaf 1858 heel India onder de Britse Kroon kwam. Victoria was de eerste keizerin van India, tot 1901. Zij werd opgevolgd door Edward VII, daarna kwamen George V, Edward VIII en George VI.. Hun hoofden vindt u dus terug op de Indiase munten uit de tijd van 1858-1947.

In dat laatste jaar werd India zelfstandig (en splitste Pakistan zich af).

In het begin van de 19e eeuw kunt u munten tegenkomen met waarden in Cash of Pie.

Vanaf 1835 tot 1947 werd overal in India min of meer hetzelfde systeem gehanteerd.


Daarin was de Rupee onderverdeeld in 16 Annas. De Anna was op haar beurt weer 12 Pies waard. De Rupee was dus 192 Pies. De naam Pice werd ook gebruikt. De Rupee bevatte 64 Pice, dus om het makkelijk te houden: 1 Pice = 3 Pies.

Het is begrijpelijk dat dit niet-decimale systeem later verlaten werd. Sinds 1957 wordt dan ook gebruik gemaakt van de Rupee, die is verdeeld in 100 Paisa.

Vóór de Britse periode had elke staat zijn eigen muntplaats. De komst van de Britten had hier een grote invloed op. De muntslag werd op enkele plaatsen geconcentreerd.

Dit kan worden bepaald, doordat onder het jaartal van de munt een klein detail is aangebracht.

Bevindt zich daar een stip, of een ruit (“diamant”), dan is de munt geslagen in Bombay (tegenwoordige naam Mumbay). Staat er géén teken, dan is de muntplaats Calcutta (Kolkata).

In Hyderabad werd ook af-en-toe gemunt .Hier is een vijfpuntige ster, een gespleten diamant (split diamond) of een ruit-met-punt (dot in diamond) als muntteken in gebruik. In Lahore is ook sporadisch geslagen, kenmerk: letter “L”.

Het nieuw geopende munthuis in Noida gebruikt een stip of punt.

Bij moderne Indiase munten is enkele keer gebruik gemaakt van een munthuis in een ander land. Hier ziet u bijvoorbeeld een letter “C” voor Canada, terwijl ook in Pretoria, Seoul en Mexico is geproduceerd.
