FEATURED WEB SITE: COINS OF BRITISH INDIA

This week's featured web site is on coins of British India by
Dr P V Bharat & Sravanthi.  It was suggested by Roger DeWardt
Lane, who was impressed by the nice images.  Me, too!

"British India Coins (1862-1947) were stuck under the authority
of the crown. The new coins minted under the Coinage Act, 1835
had the effigy of William IV on the obverse and the value on
the reverse in English and Persian. The coins issued after 1840
bore the portrait of Queen Victoria. The first coinage under the
crown was issued in 1862 and in 1877 Queen Victoria assumed the
title of the Empress of India. We have tried to cover the Uniform
coinage of this period."
