INDIAN & ISLAMIC COINS THE AL-SAYYED COLLECTION IMPORTANT INDIAN & ANCIENT COINS EAST INDIA COMPANY & BRITISH INDIA Rupee. AR 11.51 g. Possibly attributable to the East India Company, Charles II type. Very rare and interesting. Extremely fine This Rupee type, of which about a dozen are now known, has in the past been tentatively attributed to the East India Company, as an issue made during the reign of Charles II. This attribution was based on a historic reference erroneously dated to 1681. The date of this reference has now been corrected to 1695, making the attribution of these coins to the reign of Charles II untenable. Unfortunately, the legend on the coins continues to be a puzzle and totally unread. No mention of an English monarch can be discerned, nor a mintname. Indeed there is, at this stage, no evidence for attributing the issue to the East India Company at all. The present coin has what could be a Persian “2” at the top of one of the sides. These coins remain a mystery and research continues.
