Mahbubia Público Deposited
The name given to the handsome silver Rupee introduced into circulation in Byderabad in 1904. It re ceives its name from Mir Mahbub Mi Khan, the Nizam of the Deccan, "as a compliment to the ruler who declined to abrogate his currency privileges." The term Mahbubia Annas is also applied to the copper coinage of this rule.
