I've done a lot of research on this issue and I have developed fairly complex, fairly historically accurate coin systems and well... you know what? It just gets in the way. It doesn't seem to make the game more fun for the players.
What I've done is a two speed system. One layer is the "unit of account". You find 300 rupee's worth of coin. That prize horse is worth 7 000 rupee. There is a 25 000 rupee reward for the return of the prince.
Only when the *actual coins* manners do we get into details - anna coins are being forged. This merchant demands only Mohurs. etc
