This is now the second example of an EIC Rupee with shroff marks I have been able to obtain, the first being an 1840. While not common, it is evident that shroffing was being performed on milled rupees somewhere in India.
Picked these up to study their bankers' marks. I write about those more extensively here: https://www.reddit.com/r/ChopmarkedCoins/s/4bslMHrQQu
Grabbed this from the recent lcsg sale. While it was likely from an insignificant riverboat wreck in China, I still really enjoy the idea of sunken treasure.
