Indian rupee history

The currently circulating Indian rupee was introduced in 1957 which was decimalized based on old Indian rupee, with subdivision of 100 naye paise. The naye paisa was renamed simply as paisa (plural: paise) in 1964. The old Indian rupee was subdivided into 16 annas and anna was subdivided into 12 pie. Hence, 1 rupee or 100 paise of new Indian rupee (INR) was equal to 16 annas of old Indian rupee, 50 paise equivalent to 8 annas, 25 paise equivalent to 4 annas, and so on. The old India rupee was used in India since middle of sixteenth century.

The first Indian rupee was said issued by Sher Shah Suri during the years 1540-1545 of Sur Empire, named Rupiya. It was introduced on silver standard with subdivision of 16 annas, each of 12 pai. There were some varieties of Indian rupee between the years of seventeen century and middle of twentieth century, such as Danish Indian rupee, French Indian rupee, Portuguese Indian rupia which were used among the colonies controlled by Denmark, France and Portuguesa. There were also some other rupee currencies which were used by Princely states. The Danish Indian rupee was replaced by Indian rupee in 1845 when Danish India became part of British India. However India unified all rupees after independence, firstly French Indian rupee in 1954, and then Portuguese India escudo (which replaced the Portuguese India rupia in 1958) in 1961, and eventually the rest of rupees being used in some autonomous Princely states.
