India Post traces its formal administrative origins to 1854, when Lord Dalhousie overhauled the colonial postal system and introduced uniform postage rates across British India — the direct institutional ancestor this coin commemorates. The 150-year count runs from that 1854 reorganization, not from any earlier Mughal or East India Company postal arrangements.
