Danish India – Arkot Mint, Silver

See communication from Jan Lingen to Barry Tabor. However the following comments were made in an Oswal auction:

Rupees of this type were attributed to Danish India"- Tranquebar on the basis of the AH/RY combination by Uno Jensen. However their find-spots are invariably located in the South Maharashtra / North Karnataka region, where the 'Arcot' rupees had been popular as standard currency and even inspired issues of Maratha mints such as Dharwad. There is a good chance that these coins were struck at one of the local mints in the region, most likely controlled by the Patwardhan Sardars.
