Definición

• A Persian word meaning thick, and applied to various Indian coins of the Fels type having a thick or heavy module.

  The French equivalent is Dabou, and Zay (p. 287) states that at Yanaon in the French Indies forty-six to forty-eight Dabous are equal to one Rupee.

  The Dub with multiples was also issued by the Madras East India Company in 1807 and later. See Neumann, Beschreibung der bekanntesten Kupfermunzen. 1858-72. (19906), and Faluce, infra.
