Proko Valued Member Australia 91 Posts	Posted 08/02/2008 08:10 am I am interested to find out the mintage figures and years that an indian die one penny was issued for circulation. If anyone knows or can point me in the right direction of how I could find out I would appreciate it. Report this Post to the Staff

Peter THOMAS Pillar of the Community Australia 2830 Posts	Posted 08/03/2008 02:52 am I suspect that the above are at cross-purposes. During WW1, and again during WW2, bronze coins were produced in Calcutta & Bombay respectively. Most of these carry an "I", for India, mintmark. However, pennies produced during the 1920s & 1930s display a variety of obverses. One of these is called the "London" obverse, and another is the "Indian" obverse. The famous 1930 penny has these two varieties. It's not that the coins were minted overseas, but, if I understand correctly, the dies were prepared overseas. See this website for some more detail: http://triton.vg/pennyObv.html#GeorgeV I am open to stand corrected on any of the above. Peter in Darwin Report this Post to the Staff

See this website for some more detail: Actually that is not correct; the working dies were made at the Melbourne mint from masters supplied by London until about 1922. After that even the master dies for each year were made in Melbourne. Also, there is still considerable controversy regarding the authenticity of the supposed 1930 London obverse pennies.
