The British East India Company at Bombay operated its own mint since 1672, but found trade very difficult as their coins with English designs were not readily accepted by the local businessmen. They could not officially strike coins in the name of the Mughal emperor, as they were technically not his subjects. To remedy this situation, they resorted to strike coins in the names the British sovereigns but resembling Mughal coins in every other respect such as the use of Farsi script. The issue began sometimes during 1693, which was the 4th regnal year of King William and Queen Mary as joint rulers of Great Britain.
The coins were brought to the notice of Mughal emperor Aurangzeb soon and he was very annoyed at their sight. He sent Khafi Khan, a nobleman who would later become famous also as a Mughal chronicler, to Bombay and threatened the British with dire consequences if the coins were not withdrawn immediately. The British complied with the Emperor's demand under the threat of an impeding military action. The coins were all withdrawn and melted down in 1696. The issue was thus very short-lived.
Coins of this type were unknown until 1960, when P L Gupta located a few specimens in the collection of the Prince of Wales Museum (now CSMVS) in Bombay. He published them along with historical context as outlined by Khafi Khan. Coins dated in RY4, 5 and 6 are now known. Of these, coins dated Ry4 are the rarest, as they were most likely issued for only two months, January and February 1693.
As per the cataloguer, only 4 or 5 specimens are known of RY 4.

The identification of these coins products of the Mint at Broach was done by Paul Stevens in his paper in JONS 182. Records indicate sporadic minting activity in years 1821, 1824, 1827-1830 AD. The mint was closed in 1831.

This fraction is unlisted in Stevens who only lists full mohurs and 1/3 mohurs (or Panchias) for the type. Given the correspondence of gold : silver values, the denomination could well have been intended for a gold 'double rupee' coin. 1/15th mohurs, struck as 'gold rupees', are well-known for the main series of Bombay gold issues so it is likely that a similar trajectory was followed for issues on Malabar Coast.

Stevens does not list a quarter mohur denomination for this type, but it must be said that the overall execution of the coin is quite different from normal issues of the series and the dies employed also seem to be different. We cannot say if this is an intentional deviation, or if indeed the coin was struck for another reason such as making jewellery.
