Own a remarkable piece of Indo-British numismatic history with this authentic One Rupee silver coin from the Bombay Presidency, minted during the reign of Shah Alam II. Struck in 1215 AH (corresponding to 1832-1835 CE) at the prestigious Surat Mint, this exceptional specimen represents a fascinating era when British colonial administration began reshaping Indian coinage standards.

This milled coin, weighing a substantial 11.59 grams and measuring 27mm in diameter, exemplifies the technical sophistication of early 19th-century metallurgy. Featuring the Islamic Hijri calendar date with regnal year 46, it provides direct insight into Mughal-era monetary systems during their twilight period. The scarce Surat Mint mark adds considerable desirability for serious collectors, as coins from this specific mint are increasingly difficult to locate in well-preserved condition.

Perfect for numismatists, history enthusiasts, and investment-minded collectors, this demonetized currency piece combines historical significance with tangible silver content. The coin’s rarity and connection to both Indian and British colonial heritage make it an outstanding addition to any collection, offering both cultural value and lasting appreciation potential.
