Significance
From August 1765 the East India Company controlled all mints in Bengal and used the mint name Murshidabad at both the Murshidabad and Calcutta mints. The Murshidabad mint was closed in 1777 but this coin, struck in the year 1768-1769 could be the product of either mint. Most of the mint name is actually off the flan but the three diamonds at the bottom of the reverse form part of the Murshidabad name.
