hailed on coins

[user_gary]

A bit of background: 'The days of the Viceroys' means something more specific here - the time in the history of India when it was governed by a succession of Viceroys. (Queen Victoria - who is hailed on coins with the abbreviation 'Ind. Imp.'['Empress of India'] never actually went there.)

Please explain the highlighted ones.

Here is an example of a coin with this inscription on it: http://tinyurl.com/32f8q6

"To be hailed on coins...Empress of India" - identified as ... Empress of India.

Ind. Imp. = India Imperator [Latin]
