Currency and proof issues of the 1862 dated rupee coins have a number of different obverse and reverse die varieties, which are helpful in identification of the mint.
 The design of the coin, however, remained largely unchanged.
 From 1863 till 1875, the Bombay mint introduced an unusual system of dots to date the coins.
 These dots occur on the reverse below the date, above the word 'ONE', or in both positions.
 From 1874, this practice was halted and coins began to be dated continuously.
 From this development, it may be inferred that by this time the 'batta' system must have all but disappeared.
 As with all other Victoria coinage, the title on the obverse was changed from 'Victoria Queen' to 'Victoria Empress' in 1877.
 Calcutta mint coins usually carry no mint mark or an incused 'C' at the bottom of the reverse.
 Bombay mint issues are usually marked by a raised bead below the date, or a raised/incused 'B' in the top or bottom flower, with some exceptions.
 Rupee coins with Victoria's bust were minted until her death in 1901.

Fractional denominations of half rupee, quarter rupee, and two annas were also issued under Victoria's reign.
 The dot-dating system was not used for these denominations, and is unique to the 1862 dated Bombay rupees.
 Similar to the rupee coins, the title of Queen was changed to Empress in 1877.
 The Bombay and Calcutta issues have mint identification marks similar to the rupee issues (no mark or 'C' incused for Calcutta, bead or raised/incused 'B' for Bombay).
 Different reverse and obverse die varieties are known for each denomination.
