| Royal Mint (Tower Hill), London, United Kingdom (1810-1975) | |
| B | Mumbai / Bombay, India (1829-date) |
| C | Kolkata / Calcutta / Murshidabad, India (1757-date) |
Comments
Issued to facilitate British trade in the Orient, the reverse design incorporated the denomination in Chinese characters and Malay script (often found with chop marks which do not detract from the value - see below).
Struck at three separate mints as follows:
B - Bombay mint Found on tip of middle fork on trident; missing on some 1895, 1897 & 1898 issues;
C - Calcutta mint Found between Britannia's foot and the shield; missing on some 1900 issues;
No mark - London mint (1925 & 1930 issues only)
Mintage figures quoted include all varieties for the given mint and year.
A limited number of gold proof restrikes were produced from the original dies but it is not known when or by whom.
