The EIC privy marked gold and silver issues
and gold with no privy marks have long straight petals. The silver coins not dated RY 46 have shorter
curved petals, while RY 46 silver with no privy marks occur both ways. This implies only the RY 46 silver coins with
long straight petals are EIC which is important on the smaller
fractions.(Comment from RJ)

Judging by the later milled coins, these should have the date
1215 on the obverse but it is almost always missing. |
