Context

- A GREAT CASH was authorized 9th September 1678. Proclaimed current in November as a TREBLE CASH at a rate of 42 to the fanam. A later resolution of November 1678 ordered the coinage to continue but now rated the coin as a DOUBLE CASH. The weight and fanam exchange rate remained the same as approved in September. Demonetized 16th February 1680. The reverse with the inscription Sri Ranga appears to be an allusion to the company's original overlords, the Rajas of Chandragiri, who confirmed their possession of Madras and the right of coinage. - In 1678 the GREAT CASH was traded 42 Great Cash = 1 fanam OR 84 Single Cash = 1 fanam, 36 fanam = 1 pagoda. 1512 Great cash = 1 pagoda - Weight varies 1.64 - 1.77 grams
