(The page is reproduced below, but the photocopy I worked from was poor and not all the text could be read; and the spellings are probably Anglicised.
At the time there were 13 Rupees and 5 Annas to the pound [sovereign]. 1 rupee = 16 annas; 1 anna = 4 pice =12 pies)
I also have the Indian Report on Decimal Currency and the Metric System, so I shall add some more from that later.
