This issue represents the East India Company's effort to provide a uniform copper currency for the Bengal Presidency. Known as the "Trilingual" or "Bilingual" series depending on the specific variety, these coins were widely circulated. The inclusion of the Devanagari script alongside Persian highlights the administrative shift toward making the currency more accessible to the local population in the Northern and Central provinces of the Presidency.
