In the wake of the departure of Clive, and the withdrawal of the C-marked coinage, there was a shortage of gold specie in Calcutta which Armenian merchants suggested the authorities remedy by striking mohurs and their fractions with a higher intrinsic value than previously. Accordingly, and with the approval of London, new dies were prepared in Murshidabad and coins struck there and in Calcutta from May 1769. The coins met with universal approval and continued to be issued until the end of 1788
