DEVKARAN NANJEE DENA BANK BOMBAY I.G MINT 10 TOLAS 1947-1956 fine 999.1 silver bar.
Produced during - 1947-1956, Specimen weights 10 tolas around 117 grams on my scales…. It has marks on the rim/edge/overall & patina what you expect for a specimen older than half a century old as pictured. (Last picture shows an invoice from a (GEN1) 20 tolas, That is not included in this sale but shown for educational purposes).
Company Name: Dena Bank / Devkaran Nanjee Banking Co. Ltd
Company Location: Mumbai, Maharashtra, India
Company Information: Founded on May 26th, 1938 by Pranlal Devkaran Nanjee in Bombay as Devkaran Nanjee Banking Company Ltd., it was later incorporated as a public company, DENA Bank (Devkaran Nanjee) Ltd, in December 1939. Pranalbhai was inspired by his late father, Shri Devkaran Nanjee’s dream to start a bank and wanted to play a seminal role in the development of Indian banking industry.
In July 1969, Dena Bank Ltd., along with 13 other major banks, was nationalized and is now a Public Sector Bank constituted under the Banking Companies (Acquisition & Transfer of Undertakings) Act, 1970.
Known sizes: 50 grams, 100 grams, 200 grams, 5 Tolas, 10 Tolas, 20 Tolas, 50 Tolas, 100 Tolas
A note on possible years of production: The 5, 10, and 20 Tolas bars by His Majesty's Mint (H.M. Mint), Bombay with the crown logo and Dena Bank's Goddess Lakshmi logo were most probably produced between 1938 and 1947, 1938 being the year in which this bank was established and 1947 is the year when H.M. Mint was renamed.
After India's independence in 1947, His Majesty's Mint became India Government Mint (I.G. Mint) so the 5, 10, and 20 Tolas with the I.G. Mint's State Emblem of India and Dena Bank's DNB monogram were probably produced after this year.
In 1956, The Standards of Weights and Measures Act was passed which led to the Tola being officially replaced by Metric system (grams). So the 50, 100, and 200 grams bars were probably minted starting in 1956 until Dena Bank's nationalization in 1969 by the government of India.
