*Mahmudi* — Silver coin current in Gujarat and the west coast of India. According to Herbert, a Mahmudi was worth eight pence in English money. Fryer says, ‘Mamodies are current only in Surat, and Parts adjacent; they are worth somewhat less than an English Shilling.’ Mahmudi chaparis carried a higher exchange value than Mahmudi chalanis.
