Although mint officials in Bombay had appealed for more English-struck copper coins as far back as December 1802, it was not until almost a year later that Matthew Boulton was able to prepare to fill the order, the presses during the early months of 1803 being largely occupied by the Company’s Madras order. The sculptor John Phillp (1778-1815) was able to turn his hand to the matter at the close of 1803, and a total of 12.2 million 1804-dated coins were shipped to St Botolph’s Wharf in two batches, in January and March/April 1804

Owner’s ticket. The building of a new mint at Bombay commenced with the laying of the foundation stone on 1 February 1825. But as far back as 1820 the Company had been engaged with Boulton, Watt & Co for the necessary minting machinery, with its emissary, Capt (later Major) John Hawkins, Bombay Engineers, making several visits to Soho, but work did not start until February 1823 and the presses, along with the sub-contractors to operate them and Hawkins himself, did not leave England until the autumn of the following year. Numerous local setbacks ensured that the first trial pieces, thought to be the ‘lion and palm’ coppers struck at the end of 1828 and described in a letter from Hawkins to Boulton in February 1829 (see Lot 562), met with a mixed reception. The Court of Directors ordered the new machine-struck coinage, of half-, quarter- and twelfth-annas, be made to a lighter weight standard, which caused concern, but manufacture of quarter-annas began on 22 November 1830 and twelfth-annas early in 1831. The old Bombay mint was closed in April 1831 and staff transferred to the new facility, but the increasingly-ill Hawkins had died two months earlier. A small number of half-annas dated 1832 were struck and a few appear to have escaped into circulation; 12 proofs were sent to London for approval by the Court of Directors, but the Bombay die-sinker, a Mr Clarke, had resigned in an apparent fit of pique, causing the mint engineer, Capt Frederick McGillivray (†1838), Royal Engineers, to request a complete set of new matrices from the mint at Calcutta

Gerald Aungier (1640-77), president of the Surat mint, oversaw the production of the first tinnies, or bujerooks (the latter name derived from the Portuguese bazarrucco, or so-called ‘market money’), in December 1672. Metal was supplied from Surat and, in later years, England. Coining of tin continued in a haphazard manner until 1716, with the balemark replacing the Company’s arms, although the coins did not see wide circulation and were mostly used to pay the wages of Company labourers and soldiers, who struggled to obtain the denominated exchange rate of 11 tinnies to one copperoon when trying to spend them. A final coinage in tin, using surplus metal in the Government’s warehouse, was made in 1717-18

By 1741 the shortage of copper coin was becoming acute and so the authorities turned to tutenague, a form of raw zinc, which offered a much greater profit margin when coined. By October of that year the new coins were in circulation, and were struck in various years down to 1773. Counterfeits, principally of lead, proved an occasional problem and in 1748 an organised withdrawal of forgeries was managed by the Bombay Treasury. Problems arose with the excess amounts charged when exchanging zinc coins in 1772-3, and by October 1773, with a glut of forgeries in circulation once more, they would not pass current in the bazaar. The authorities reacted by re-instigating a coinage of copper pice and withdrawing the zinc coins, which were eventually disposed of in 1775
