Hi Guys I was just wondering how do you tell the C mint from the B mint in Indian coinage. Is this a 1944 L ? thanks for all your help guys !!
The Calcutta mint don't have any mint mark. The Bombay mint have a small dot on the reverse under the ornate near the bottom of the coin. In case of Lahore mint there is an L mintmark in place of the dot. The above mintmark scheme applies for George V and VI coins only. Edward VII had a completely different scheme As usual there was no mintmark for Calcutta. Bombay issues have an incuse B in the crown Also there is a second more prominent mint mark on the stem of the lotus bud. So the first 3 of the coins are Bombay mint issues and the last one is a Calcutta mint issue.
Thanks for your reply, and the time you took to do up the images. I found a lot of information on the coins of British govern India a few hours ago on http://jfcampbell.us/india/ thanks again for your help Kidromeo!!
