Transitory Differentiating Mark from Alan DeShazo
There is a
transitory differ. mark that has not been recognized partly because of its
being mistaken for being merely a diacritical mark. The operation of the
Benares mint under the EIC was made under the management of the English
Resident during the course of RY 24. The last issue before the transfer
displayed differ. mark A. When the control passed to the current Resident this
new mark showed a triad of dots below the fish. A new Resident acceded to mint
control and the mark was changed to D (with cross crosslet).
