Pridmore states that the 1854 coins only occur as Proofs and were struck from matrix dies engraved by William or Leonard Charles Wyon, usually designated as Patterns whose design and denominations were sanctioned by Act XVII, 1835. Modern restrikes occur of the 2- and 1-Mohur in gold. Although Pridmore states that these are Proofs, the fact remains that this design never saw any circulation and are therefore really patterns. Unlike most British Indian coins, this particular series has a plain truncation which is perhaps due to the death of William Wyon, the chief engraver of British India coinage at that time. It is probable that L C Wyon completed the design of this series after his father’s death and sent the matrices, punches, dies and a specimen set of the design to India at the end of 1853.
