Ex Noble Numismatics Sale 63 (lot 1232). The design for this coinage was determined in 1740 and declared the standard pagoda of Madras 9th April 1741. Referred to in the Company's records as the 'Madras current or star pagoda'. This is the coin type that Andrews should have illustrated in his book for Governor King's proclamation of 1800, rather than an 1808 pagoda for Madras that was illustrated.
