Gwalior Fort was occupied by the British from November 1802

by Barry Tabor in JONS 196 (p.32) is dated AH 1218, which ran
from the end of July 1803 to April 1804. The mintname is not
visible on either coin but stylistically this issue, apart from the
European-style sword, is very much like other Rupees of this
period from Gwalior Fort mint. This type of sword, known
only on Rupees of this particular date could therefore well be a
symbol of the British occupation.

The Huth family : Reginald Huth (1853-1926), Banker and
London representative of the Bank of Spain. The family business
Frederick Huth & Co was first established by his grandfather
in Corunna, Spain, in 1805. He came to London in 1809 and in
1814 he took John Frederick Grüning into partnership and the
resulting firm, Huth & Company, was formed. Throughout
the 19th century the firm is described in London directories
as ‘merchants’. In 1903 Reginald Huth changed the priorities
and Frederick Huth & Co was established as a merchant bank.
The bank was dissolved in 1936 and absorbed into the British
Overseas Bank and then, in turn, the Royal Bank of Scotland.
A prolific collector of coins, his collection was sold at Sotheby’s
in three sales in April and June, 1927. He also commissioned a
