Coin-card with Viceroy-Flag of India

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: B. Rigold & Bergmann

Mumbai Bombay c. 1905 Lithograph Divided back 14.00x9.00cm

An early postcard summarizing the value of British Indian coinage, one rupee and below, in silver and copper. One British pound at the time was worth 240 pence, with 1 Rupee worth 16 pence (the 'd' on the card). Another postcard summarized the value of larger coinage in a variety of currencies. Note that it took 1 anna (the center silver coin at the very bottom) to mail this card to Europe, and a half-anna (the large copper coin with Queen Victoria on it center right) to send it within India and Burma.
Date c. 1905
