Auction Date: 02-02-2014
Silver
Indo-Dutch, Silver Rupee in the name of Alamgir II, Jagannathpur Mint, AH 1179/RY 10(sic), 11.13g.
Very Fine, Very Rare.
A mint was opened in the coastal town of Jagannathpur or 'Jaggernaikapuram', near Machhlipatnam by the Dutch VOC to cater for trade arriving in at the port of Machhlipatnam. A detailed survey of coins struck at Jagannathpur is done by Jan Lingen in his article “Jagannathpur: a mint town of the Dutch East India Company”, in Numismatic Digest, vol. 23-24 (1999-2000). The earliest date Lingen lists is AH1184, which makes this rupee not only unlisted by Lingen but also probably the earliest known date for the Jagannathpur coinage.
