Note by
Lingen At the "Deuxièmes Rencontres de Numismatique Asiatique"
(Versailles, 2016) and later at the International Seminar on South Indian
Numismatics "Nidhi-2018" in Bengaluru, I presented a paper in which
I came to the conclusion that these Pondicherry type rupees with a
"D" were struck at Alamparai, under Governor Joseph François
Dupleix, who received the fort of Alamparai in 1750 from the Subedar of the
Deccan for services rendered by him. The D represents the initial of Dupleix. |
