Silver
East India Company, Bombay Presidency, Mughal style coinage, silver rupee in the name of James II of Britain (1685-1688 AD), Stevens 1.22, 11.45g. Obv: Farsi legend Sikka zad dauran XXX Lashkar-i King James Di Sekun. Rev: Zarb Mumbai? Fi Sanah Julus 4 Angrez Shadi?.
Very fine+, Exceedingly rare.
The legends on these extremely rare rupees were tentatively deciphered by John Deyell in an article published in the Journal of Academy of Indian Numismatics & Sigillography, Vol.III 1980, pp.57-60. On 12th April 1686, King James II renewed the East India Company's charter after the establishment at Bombay suffered a rebellion by Capt Richard Keigwin who took over the control from the Company in the name of the King. Along with addressing causes of discontent, and with a view to streamline the trade, the charter permitted the Company with “full power license and authority to coin in their forts, any species of money usually coined by the Princes of these countries”, provided they matched the standards of such coins in terms of weight and fineness. It is probable that coins in Mughal style bearing the name of James II were struck at this time, to alleviate the frustrations caused by English-style 'Pax Deo' rupees, which traders on the Konkan mainland and beyond were very reluctant to accept.

Silver
East India Company(?), Bombay Presidency, silver rupee with inscriptions in a Western language rendered in Farsi script, circa late 17th century AD, 11.49g.
Extremely fine, Very rare.
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.
