Owner’s ticket and envelope. Ascribed to Dacca by previous cataloguers of this coin interpreting the central pellet in the extreme left side group as being indicative of that mint’s secret privy mark, when it is a standard feature. A major report about the state of the coinage in Bengal, conducted in 1789, concluded that the way forward would be to produce coins using machinery. Accordingly plant was acquired and, after a few trial strikes were produced in copper, the first gold coins were minted in August 1790. Silver coins proved more difficult as the blanks continued to be hand-prepared, so the first milled rupees did not appear until 1792 and the first milled copper coins were made in 1795
