Owner’s ticket, ‘over the nearly 40 years I have had this coin I have traced only one other sold by Spink in Nov. 79’ [subsequently Fore Collection, lot 1893].

Gerald Aungier (1640-77), president of the Surat mint, oversaw the production of the first tinnies, or bujerooks (the latter name derived from the Portuguese bazarrucco, or so-called ‘market money’), in December 1672. Metal was supplied from Surat and, in later years, England. Coining of tin continued in a haphazard manner until 1716, with the balemark replacing the Company’s arms, although the coins did not see wide circulation and were mostly used to pay the wages of Company labourers and soldiers, who struggled to obtain the denominated exchange rate of 11 tinnies to one copperoon when trying to spend them. A final coinage in tin, using surplus metal in the Government’s warehouse, was made in 1717-18
