INTRODUCTION
Background
The origin of the word "rupee" is found in the Sanskrit rūpya "shaped; stamped, impressed; coin" and also from the Sanskrit word "raupya" meaning silver.
In 712 AD, the Arabs conquered the Indian province of Sindh and brought their influence and coverage with them. By the 12th Century, Turkish Sultans of Delhi replaced the longstanding Arab designs and replaced them with Islamic calligraphy.
This was heavily influenced by the Afghan Sher Shah Suri (1540 to 1545) who introduced the silver Rupayya or Rupee coin. The original rūpaya was a silver coin weighing 175 grains troy (about 11.34 grams). The silver coin remained in use during the Mughal period, and later during the British rule. In 1866, when the financial establishments collapsed, the control of paper money also shifted to the British Government. In 1867, the Victoria Portrait series of bank notes was issued in honour of Queen Victoria and later many emperors followed suit.
After gaining its independence in 1947 and becoming a republic in 1950, India's modern Rupee reverted back to the design of the signature Rupee coin. The symbol chosen for the paper currency was the Lion. In 1996, the Mahatma Gandhi Series of Paper notes was introduced. Finally, rupee sign was presented to public by the government of India on 15 July 2010.
