BENGAL PRESIDENCY: AR rupee, "Murshidabad", AH1202 year 19, KM-106, Stv-4.9. Prid-153., first milled issue, struck at Calcutta in 1792 only, oblique milling right, no dots within the obverse rosettes, wide borders, pleasing toning, VF-EF. Pridmore attributed this type with its wide rims to trials that took place in 1790. Stevens, however, favors the year 1792 when a trial of laminating and cutting machinery took place at the Calcutta mint. It is reported that only 1000 pieces were struck, then replaced by the narrow border type.
