BENGAL PRESIDENCY: AR rupee (11.64g), Murshidabad, AH1202 year 19, Stv-5.5, the dot in the center of the middle group of pellets below the word fadl on the obverse confirms that this piece was as issue of the Murshidabad Mint, not the Calcutta Mint; grained right edge, astounding quality! EF-AU, RRR, ex Charles W. Lueders III Collection. This is the first machine-struck issue, produced at Murshidabad only in 1793 (and at Calcutta 1792-93 and Patna 1793); all later rupees of these mints (and Dacca) lack the Hijri year 1202 but retain the frozen regnal year 19.
