Context
The production of these mohurs did not, in fact, begin until 1 September 1790. The Hirjri and Julus dates on these coins were frozen. This type is one of the 1800 Australian Proclamation coins . In 1800 the then-Governor of New South Wales, Philip Gidley King issued a proclamation that ten specific British, Netherlands, Indian, Portuguese and Spanish coins were to be brought into the colony and given inflated denominations than what was indicated on the coins so that they would say in circulation in the colony. This Mohur had a value of 1 Pound, 17 Shillings and 6 Pence.
