Coinage under British governance of the Indian subcontinent can be divided into two periods: East India Company (EIC) issues, pre-1858; and Imperial issues struck during the British Raj under the direct authority of the crown. The EIC issues can be further subdivided into two subcategories: the Presidency issues, which comprise separate Madras Presidency, Bombay Presidency, and Bengal Presidency issues; and uniform coinage for all British territories from 1835 to 1858.
