Medal known as the ‘Medallic Rupee’ bearing the portrait of Claude Martin, a Frenchman in the service of the British East India Company between 1760 and 1800. It was probably struck at the end of his life, between 1796 and 1800. Although French, his long service with the Company brought him up through the ranks, culminating in his elevation to the rank of General Major of the British Army in 1794. Undoubtedly one of the wealthiest Europeans of his time in India, he built an immense palace in the town of Lucknow, the ‘Constantia’, where he was buried on his death.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp id=\"headCaption\"\u003eLABORE ET CONSTANTIA \/ C•L•M\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp id=\"weight\"\u003e10 gr\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"cdma","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43476984529125,"sku":"489380","price":2790.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0637\/1655\/7029\/files\/489380A_f10739bb-7c5b-4ffc-a8c6-32ea0518a5b8.jpg?v=1727092280","url":"https:\/\/www.numiscorner.com\/products\/489380-coin-india-french-general-claude-martin-rupee-1796-pcgs-ms64bn-copper","provider":"Numiscorner.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
