As far as I know there were 1/12 , 1/4, 1/2 and 1 Annas.
1/2 and 1 pice coins
1/4, 1/2 and one Rupee coins.

I also noticed that when the Brits went from calling the country East India Company to "India" they also called the Monarch Emperor as well as King/Queen.

I am still well and truly wet behind the ears with these coins but I am loving every minute learning about and collecting them  :yahoo:
