Towards the end of the 19th century, some princely states experimented with introduction of machine-struck coinages, in response to the pressure from the colonial government to curtail their minting prerogatives. Indore state bought second-hand British machinery and ordered manufacturing of punches and dies from the Heaton mint in Birmingham. The dies were not suitable for the machines and resulted in weak striking and other mechanical problems resulting in a lot of wastage and recycling. The state’s capacity to handle such costs was limited and the coinage ended in failure. Ultimately the silver crisis of early 20th century made the process too costly and coinage was subsequently restricted only to copper issues.
