| Additional information |
The 1833 coinage of the East India Company marks the year the Company lost its trade monopoly entirely — the Charter Act of that year stripped its remaining commercial functions, leaving it purely as a governing body. These copper small-denomination pieces were struck in enormous quantities for circulation across the Bengal Presidency, and survival in any grade above heavily worn is less common than mintage figures suggest, given the brutal treatment copper took in active bazaar use.
