Silver
East India Company?, Silver Rupee, with inscriptions in a Western language rendered in Farsi script, circa late 17th century AD, 11.51g.
Extremely Fine, Extremely Rare in this grade.
Similar rupees have been offered in other auctions as issues of the English East India Company, struck in Bombay in the name of Charles II; however, research by Paul Stevens has completely ruled out this attribution. The coins do show a similarity with British issues of William and Mary in terms of execution, but legends on them have not yet been satisfactorily read. They appear to an inscription in a non-Persian language, perhaps a European one, rendered into stylised Farsi script. It is quite likely that they are issues of a different European mercantile company that operated on the Western Coast of India. In this context it is interesting that this coin, at the bottom of the obverse inscription, appears to have something like '…dej' which could be a part of 'Walandej', the Persianate term used to describe the Dutch.

Ex David Vice Collection. A copper ticket issued by the Patna postmaster at the inception of the General Post Office in Bengal in April 1774 by the authority of Warren
Hastings. According to Pridmore, they were sold in quantity to persons who made frequent use of the postal system. It was a means for ensuring that servants of persons handing letters for dispatch could have the required fees available and avoided the use of money. Postage fees were 2-Annas per single letter for every 100 miles.
