The date and country are easy enough but looks like the mint mark and type are going to be challenging. I tried to find something more but couldn't. Here are the different types, just for this date: http://www.ngccoin.com/poplookup/wo...oinid=337663

It's pretty daunting with the 1862 Rupees, they minted them for years using the same date. Lots of die changes. Calcutta is round pearls on the crown arch, Bombay and Madras are elongated pearls. Total production for the three mints was just over 700 million coins !

The dot mint mark above the bottom lotus flower indicates Bombay, 1874-1883, one way of tying down mintage year for Bombay. Earlier coins have no mint mark, just the elongated pearls as indicator. Bombay and Madras are hard to differentiate, at least for me. I seem to relegate them to Bombay often as not.
