| Additional information |
Rahimatpur was one of several subsidiary mints operating under loose Company oversight in the Deccan during the transition away from local coinage systems in the early nineteenth century. These transitional issues occupy an awkward administrative moment — the Company was consolidating mint authority but had not yet fully suppressed the network of semi-independent striking facilities inherited from Maratha and Nizam-era arrangements. Pr#328 reflects that ambiguity directly.
The diameter recorded here is almost certainly a cataloging anomaly; a 14 mm flan at 15 grams would imply an implausible thickness for a copper piece of this type.
