Comments

- Weight varies 10.7 - 11.6 grams
- After the debacle of the William and Mary issue, the Bombay Presidency came out with Rupees with Persian Inscriptions in the name of Farrukhsiyar... They placed a crown (hinting at the coins being issues under the English Crown) as a mark in the 'Seen' of Julus on Reverse
