Fort St David Mint – Copper

Cash – c1740

Pridmore attributes these cash coins to Fort St David on the grounds that:

  1. The coins can be attributed to the EIC because of their inscription.
  2. The cash coins issued at Madras have been identified, and these coins cannot therefore have been issued from Madras.
  3. He found documentary evidence of cash being produced at Fort St David in 1740.
