1 Mohur - William IV

The 1835 Mohur was among the first coins issued under the reformed coinage system introduced by the East India Company following the Coinage Act of 1835, which unified the bewildering patchwork of regional currencies across Bengal, Bombay, and Madras into a single imperial standard. William IV was on the throne but had no meaningful role in the decision — it was the Company's Court of Directors that drove the reform, primarily to reduce transaction friction in commercial settlements across the subcontinent.

William IV died in June 1837, making this the only Mohur type to bear his name before Victoria's accession reshaped the series entirely.
