Wilson, Esq., Assay Master.] The following tables comprise the weight, standard, pure contents, intrinsic value, and mint price of most of the gold and silver coins current in various parts of India, and of a few, European coins imported into that country. The weight and pure contents are expressed in troy grains. The standard of the gold is valued in carats; of the silver in pennyweights, and their respective subdivisions; a quarter of a carat grain and a half pennyweight being the lowest limit of valuation. The relative standard, or the betterness and worseness, has reference to the standard of the Calcutta coins, which both gold and silver are composed of 11 parts fine, and 1 of alloy; or, in the terms of the tables, the gold of 22 carats pure and 2 carats alloy, and the silver of 220 pennyweights (11 oz.) fine, and 20 pennyweights (1 oz.) alloy. The intrinsic value of the coins is the relative value of their pure metal, as compared with the value of the pure contents of the gold mohur and Calcutta rupee. The mint price is what they would realize in the Calcutta mint, after paying any charges for refinage, should such be necessary in consequence of inferiority of standard, and a deduction from the nett value of two per cent. as coinage duty. The intrinsic value and mint price have been calculated upon 100 pieces of each kind of currency, as the most convenient mode of expressing their valuation. The silver coins are valued in rupees; the gold in gold mohurs and decimal parts; to determine the value of these in rupees, it is only necessary, for the regulation value, to multiply the mint price by 16; for the Bazar price, by the price of the day; thus, the first item of the gold table, or Ahmedy Pagoda, may be valued : Rs. 100 Pieces Mrs. 91.067 at 16 the Regn. rate=1457.082 or per piece, 14 6 2 7 8 * The standard of this coin is not from actual assay, but its reputed purity. It is no doubt of a high value, though not absolutely pure. + By Regulation, the standard of the Bombay Mohur is 92 parts fine in 100, which is a trifle better than the reported standard; the pure contents are assumed The present gold coin of the Madras Mint. as the same. *This is taken from the Bombay Table. 168 945 96 0 157-696 89 10 176.508 100 5 156 055 88 11 151 770 86 4 883 6 8 Ditto, Old 284 4 7 Ditto, 6th Sun 694 1 10 Ditto, New 387 13 6 Ditto, Cuttack 5 498 3 Ditto, French 486 6 4 83 7 590 13 8 162.553 93 8 591 10 †These are coins assayed in 1832, as forming the chief circulation of the district of Chittagong; they are no doubt the same originally as the preceding, being lighter from being longer in use, and a little worse from being perhaps mixed with some of the inferior sorts. 0 Ditto (ditto), 1788 6||Ditto, New 4 Ditto, Gernall 9 Ditto, Jehazi TABLE OF SILVER COINS. 6 11 Aracan (or Mug) Troy grs.
