Description: 2 French India, Pondicherry, struck in the name of Shah Alam II (1764-1807 CE) with an Arcot mint signature, Silver Rupee with shroff marks(VF)ED You will receive two coins but you can purchase multiple coins, at a discount, by using the quantity dropdown selection. FRINDKM15 Eager to emulate the coin minting privileges of their British rivals in India, who were already striking Mughal style rupees, the French obtained, at a great price, a concession to do so from the Mughal vassal, the Nawab of Arcot. These examples have shroff marks or bankers / cashiers marks, from contemporary testing of the coins metal with a small sharp tool. Counterfeiting was commonplace enough to prompt coin users to routinely test the quality of the silver by exposing the subsurface layers of the coin.
