History of the Indian Rupee

Along with the Chinese wen and the Lydian staters, ancient India was one of the earliest issuers of coins in the globe in the sixth century BCE. This is where the history of the Indian rupee began. The silver rupiya was minted during the reign of Sultan Sher Shah Suri, which lasted from 1540 to 1545 and consisted of five years.

The Imperial Order in Council of 1825, which was issued with the intention of extending the use of British sterling coinage to the colonies of the British Empire, was completely ineffective in India. During this time, the British East India Company had almost complete control over India. Even after the British Empire had been abolished, the silver rupee continued to be used as currency across the entirety of India. The decision made by British India in 1835 to adopt a silver standard based on the rupee coin was influenced by a letter written in 1805 by Lord Liverpool advocating the benefits of mono-metallism. The letter was sent in 1805. The First War of Indian Independence, which took place in 1857, marked the beginning of direct British rule of India. The production of gold sovereigns in vast quantities did not begin until 1851 at the Royal Mint in Sydney.

The British government eventually gave up on its goal of replacing the rupee in India with the pound sterling. As a direct result of the silver crisis that occurred in 1873, a number of countries, including India in the 1890s, adopted a gold exchange standard. Around the year 1875 was the first recorded year when Britain paid India for its exports utilising India Council (paper) Bills.

The panic of 1873, which was triggered by the discovery of vast quantities of silver in the United States and other European territories, resulted in the devaluation of India's national currency, the rupee. As a direct consequence of this, the value of the rupee experienced a dramatic decline. During the Long Depression, which lasted from 1873 until 1897 in Britain, there were several bankruptcies, a rise in the unemployment rate, a stop in the construction of public works, and a considerable decrease in trade.

Independent India has been freely using the Indian rupee for transactions. Since the year 2010, the rupee has been represented by its new symbol. On July 8, 2011, the first coins with the new symbol for the rupee were released into circulation for general use.
