| Oh wow, things have got more expensive, My Pridmore was about £25 off ebay, but that was probably 20 years ago. The Stevens book was around £40 I think, off Amazon, when it was just published. The other reference was a similar amount. I'd check on Albris or Bookfinder too, sometimes you can get lucky there. |

Krause (and presumably Numista) got their information from Pridmore which was published in 1980
The other reference is Stevens and Weir which was published in 2012 and may reflect updated knowledge - I know know for sure.
Both books are essential for anyone collecting this series and are not expensive. Stevens has also published a companion book called "The coins of the English East India Company Presidency series" which is an outstanding book.

There are a ton of varieties of these where things like, berry number, ribbon end, position of Y, ribbon loops etc all can come into play - depending on how exact you want to be. This particular example is probably too worn to get into the detail of everything though.
Diameter suggests Madras.
