The 1835 British India 1 Rupee coin represents a significant milestone in Indian numismatic history, marking the introduction of a uniform coinage across the vast territories controlled by the East India Company. Prior to this, various presidencies (Bengal, Bombay, Madras) issued their own distinct currencies. This silver coin, weighing around 11.66 grams and with a fineness of .917, features the bare head of King William IV on the obverse.
