Its mint was in poor condition, so was rebuilt and coinage of silver and copper continued with until 1806 when Robert Blake senior (†1817), the former disgraced mint master at Patna, took up post and secured for it machinery that had been due to be sent to Madras. Blake, a chemist by profession, owned a significant library about minting and coining processes which was acquired by the government after his death. Between 1807 and 1810 the mint was fully mechanised. A small coinage of copper in 1816 accompanied regular silver issues, but in the wake of the Third Maratha War the Calcutta mint committee recommended closing the mint and moving coin production to Benares, once that facility became capable of producing Farrukhabad rupees. The process took several years, and it was not until April 1824 that the Farrukhabad mint closed and its equipment sent to Saugor

Coins’, Numismatic Digest 12-13, p.120 Illustrated in Paul Stevens, The Coins of the Bengal Presidency, p.483 Illustrated in Paul Stevens, The Coins of the English East India Company, Presidency Series: A Catalogue and Pricelist, p.164. In the wake of the Third Maratha War the British acquired Saugor, where a mint had been in operation for some 35 years. Its rupees had been extensively copied by private minting operations in the surrounding towns and, in an attempt to mitigate this, Thomas Herbert Maddock (1792-1870), who was on the Governor-General’s staff, instructed the darogah to insert the word ‘Saugor’ in crude script and the date 1819 on the dies. The following year the Bengal government confirmed the plan to build a new mint but, with Lt (later Major, later Col.) Duncan Presgrave in charge, machinery on order and the mint building to be made ready, some of the machinery was diverted to Benares and it was not until 1824, and the closure of the Farrukhabad mint, that Presgrave was able to finally oversee the installation of its equipment at Saugor. Production started in 1825 and, despite instructions from various authorities to close the mint in 1828, 1831 and 1833, it remained open until late 1835

Literature: Illustrated in Paul Stevens, The Coins of the Bengal Presidency, pp.260 and 291 Illustrated in Paul Stevens, The Coins of the English East India Company, Presidency Series: A Catalogue and Pricelist, p.88. In taking a step towards unification of the currency in British India, the gold and silver coinages were reviewed in 1818 along with a move to issuing coins with straight-grained edges and raised rims. Specimens of the proposed new coinage, to a heavier weight-standard but following the previous designs, were sent to the mint committee in August 1818 but, prior to that, Pridmore (SCMB 1961, pp.146-7) suggested that the mint committee had toyed with the idea of changing the design to one ‘more consistent with the dignity of the British Government of India, to authorize its own currencies by its own peculiar stamp and impression’. Such a suggestion, combined with a desire to test the new edge-marking machinery, would seem to have resulted in the few patterns of this type which, retaining the old rupee weight-standard, would appear to have been struck in the period May-August 1818
