The East India Company&#039;s mark was made up from a &#039;+&#039;, a &#039;4&#039; and the initials EIC.</p><p><br /></p><p>This mark forms the central emblem displayed on the Scinde Dawk postage stamps. Also, it was a central motif of the East India Company&#039;s coinage.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
