The 1862 coinage reform unified British India's chaotic patchwork of presidency coinages — Bombay, Calcutta, and Madras had each struck their own gold, creating chronic exchange problems across the subcontinent. A single imperial type was the solution. The Mohur continued as the standard gold unit not because of tradition alone, but because the weight and fineness were already trusted by Indian merchants and money-changers who had handled the currency for generations.
Calcutta and Bombay both struck this type, with Bombay issues identifiable by a small raised dot on the truncation.
