Bombay Presidency 1833 One Pie
Before 1835 standardization ( common coinage ) Bombay Presidency produced separate coins.It is interesting to note Aden ( Yemen ) then was part of Bombay Presidency and these coins circulated in Aden also ( note the Persian Script and Arabic numerals ) .
This is a great example of Indo Arabic coinage of modern times ..
The name of the Issuing authority East India Company is missing . Only the Insignia ( Coat of Arms ) of two Standing Lions of East India Company is shown.
It is a matter great pride for India that the East India Company is , now , owned by an Indian
