The above shown two Pagoda belongs to Madras Presidency, it was the issue of 1808 to 1815. The obverse of this gold coin depicts a temple with 9 stars on either side. The denomination is inscribed in Roman and Arabic script on the buckled garter. The reverse of the coin depicts Lord Vishnu surrounded by a dotted border and ribbon.
Companies' rule didn't last for a long time, the Mutiny of 1857 destroyed the company stronghold and the crown rules coming. Now India and her people were the subjects of the British Crown. It took nearly a century to liberate India from British rule and become an Independent nation as we know today.
