British India. Victoria gold Proof Restrike 5 Rupees 1870-(c) PR65 NGC, Calcutta mint, KM476, Fr-1603a. Mature Bust. A superb gem restrike of this 5 Rupee type displaying highly watery characteristics and a pervasive sunset-gold tone. Needle-sharp detail speaks to a flawless strike, with hardly a mark or blemish to be seen across the features, supporting the lofty grade designation. This conditionally challenging offering should be met with strong bidder interest, particularly in light of its desirable pedigree. Ex.
