In 1846, the Calcutta mint master asked that a set of matrix dies for the gold and silver coins should be obtained from London, and this request was sent by the mint committee to the Court of Directors. The court duly asked for the dies to be prepared by William Wyon and, in 1849, the dies and matrices were sent to India.
