Hyderabadi Rupee

The Hyderabadi Rupee (Urdu: ہیدرابادی روپے‎, Telugu: హైదరాబాది రూపాయి) was a separate currency of Hyderabad State, different from the Indian rupee. Like the Indian rupee, it was divided into 16 annas, each of 12 pai. Coins were issued in copper (later bronze) for denominations of 1 and 2 pai and ½ anna, in cupro-nickel (later bronze) for 1 anna and in silver for 2, 4 and 8 annas and 1 rupee.
