Note: As the British extended their control over India in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, several regional mints—including Bagalkot, Belgaum-Shahpur, and Dharwar—came under British administration. Although archival records are limited, combining them with surviving coinage provides insight into how these mints functioned during this transitional period. The trusted coinage of around 1819 was particularly important, serving local economies until newer systems replaced these issues in the 1820s–1830s.<o:p></o:p>Excerpted from an article by Paul Stevens: “The Coins of the Bombay Presidency: The Transitional Mints of the Southern Maratha Country — Bagalkot, Belgaum-Shahpur, and Dharwar.”<o:p></o:p>
