1 Rupee

Ra's Bab al-Mandab was a minor British-administered post at the southern entrance to the Red Sea, and this rupee circulates under that issuer designation as part of the broader East India Company coinage reorganization of 1840 — the same year the Company standardized the rupee across its Indian territories following the abolition of the old Presidency coinages. The KM#369.1 attribution places it within the Calcutta or Bombay striking of that transitional series rather than any locally produced issue.
