The Monetary system under British Rule in India was not decimal system. It followed a particular pattern. Here I would like to share the monetary system in India under British rule. There were Pies, Pice, Anna, Rupee and Mohur. In our previous blog post we have seen the denominations minted under British India Authority. You may read about those below: 1. 1/12 Anna
2. 1/2 Pice
3. 1/4 Anna
4. Pice
5. 1/2 Anna
6. Anna
7. 2 Annas
8. 1/4 Rupee
9. 4 Annas
10. 8 Annas
11. 1/2 Rupee
12. Rupee
13. 5 Rupees (1/3 Mohur)
14. 10 Rupees (2/3 Mohur)
15. 15 Rupees (Mohur)
16. 30 Rupees (2 Mohur )
1 pie
= 1/12 Anna
3 Pies = 1 Pice (Paisa)
3 Pies = 1 Pice (Paisa)
4 Pice = 1 Anna
12 Pies = 1Anna
12 Pies = 1Anna
16 Annas = 1 Rupee
15 Rupees = 1 Mohur
Even after 1947 this system of Annas and Rupee followed till 1950s
