Roth Part II (lot 443), H.H. Allan (lot 382) (different rev. die). On 27 March 1668 Charles II, by letters patent, transferred the island of Bombay from the Crown to the Company. By late 1668 Company officials had requested tools for making coins from London, but it was not until 1671 that its directors agreed that Gerald Aungier (1640-77), president of the Surat mint, would establish a mint on Bombay island. By the autumn of 1672 Aungier was in Bombay and the first coins, anglinas, copperoons and tinnies, were struck in December 1672. These bear the year 7 date, reckoned from February 1665, when Bombay was ceded to the English crown by Portugal. The new coin met with opposition on the mainland, principally because citizens were used to a combination of Portuguese coins and Surat rupees and it was perceived that the latter were of slightly higher alloy and weight. A further objection was the lack of any regal title, which was partly rectified in the second issue of 1674
