The English entrepreneur Matthew Boulton (1728-1809) received his first coining order from the Company in 1786. Once his Birmingham manufactory had been established, Boulton’s coins were sent to St Botolph’s Wharf in London and thence shipped to the Far East on the Company’s vessels. Robert Wissett (1750-1820), the Company’s secretary who was Boulton’s chief contact, had enquired about the possibility of a coinage contract for Madras at the turn of the century, but Boulton’s full order book meant that it was another two years before such an order could be considered. Sir Charles Wilkins (1749-1836), the Company’s librarian and a noted linguist, designed the coins, the dies for which were engraved by the sculptor John Phillp (1778-1815), an employee of Boulton. The three larger denominations were struck first, the initial order arriving at St Botolph’s Wharf in early November 1802; the tiny Cash coin was problematic to make and it was not until January 1803 that Boulton devised a way of manufacturing them, but ultimately almost half of the entire order, which amounted to a total of 37,936,000 copper coins across the four denominations, comprised these single Cash. A second order of coins for Madras was first mooted in September 1807, but delays caused by the decision as to whether Boulton or the Company would provide the copper for them meant that coining did not commence until late in 1807 and continued until February 1808. Subsequently two further batches of coins were struck, in June-July 1808 and December 1808 to June 1809, and it is these that are almost certainly of the lighter weight standard; in all a total of 86,515,000 1808-dated copper coins were struck. A large percentage of the light issue was lost in the sinking of the Admiral Gardner, a Company ship, on her sixth voyage to the East, on the Goodwin Sands on 25 January 1809. Currency coins dated 1803 and 1808 are common in low grades but difficult to find in EF or better condition as they saw a wide contemporary circulation

John Sharp (c. 1645-1714), appointed Archbishop of York in 1691, began collecting coins in 1687 and was in contact with several other English numismatists of the day, including John Evelyn. The collection was left to his son and passed down the family for more than 250 years, before being organised by the late Owen Parsons and catalogued for two auctions, one of world coins and historical medals at Sotheby’s in 1966, the other of English coins at Glendining’s in 1977. Sharp provenances are among the oldest available in numismatics. In the opinion of the cataloguer the NGC grade is an extremely conservative third-party opinion

Erich Wodak (1902-58), numismatist and electronic engineer, b Uherské Hradiste, CZ, became a naturalised Briton in 1949, although his work as a linguist in World War II meant he worked principally in Malaya and Australia. A specialist in Indian coins whose aim was to revise James Atkins’ 1889 work on the British Colonial series, at the time of his early death he was Curator of Coins and Medals at the National Gallery, Melbourne. In the two decades prior to 1728 the need for small change in Bombay was met by tin coins, but in that year a large shipment of copper goz was received from Persia. The decision was taken to strike a new series of copper coins, initially by overstriking the goz issues and then by restriking them into double pice, pice and half-pice over several years, up to and including 1749

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
