These coins weren’t released by East India Company, here’s the truth!

Date:

An image of an old copper coin with ‘East India Company’ written on it has been doing rounds on social media.

The caption of the post read, ”Do you know that two anna coin was released in 1818 by East India Company; and you will be surprised to see the other side of the coin. श्रीराम राम रणकर्कश राम राम । श्रीराम राम शरणं भव राम राम”



FACT CHECK

On searching online with keywords ‘Two anna coins’, ‘Hindu deity’, we came across a website ‘coinquest.com’ which explains that these coins were not released by the East India Company but are spiritual tokens.

Source: Google

We also checked the coinage history available on the Reserve Bank of India website and saw all the coins that have actually been legal tender, and these coins are not included.

Since these coins weren’t in RBI’s records, hence, these pictures in circulation represent fantasy creations.
