Entrepreneur John Princeps secured copper mining rights in Bihar and a coining contract to mint copper currency for the EIC. Authorities in London strongly objected that any individual should have been awarded these rights and put extreme pressure on John Princeps to resign his contracts. Princeps refused to bow to the pressure but was persuaded by a large sum of money instead. After receiving his compensation he applied to work as mint master for the Calcutta Mint even without a salary, this time to provide the company with gold and silver coinage. His application was refused but the present coin is the exceptionally rare ½-Rupee from the series of silver patterns he produced to demonstrate his credentials while applying for that position. It was presumably acquired by Fred Pridmore after his books were published but before his collection was sold. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
