These pieces were worked up for sale before I had Michael Mitchiner's Indian Tokens: Popular Religious & Secular Art so are listed solely by Brotman references, with additional "made up" numbers for series or types unlisted there.

(not following Brotman's numbers for this type, as he has no examples of round rupees)
