British India. Victoria gold Mohur 1877-(c) MS62 PCGS, Calcutta mint, KM496, S&W-6.1. A beguiling issue from the inaugural year of the series, dressed in a lustrous honey gold patina and demonstrating a firm, well-maintained strike. Despite the chatter in the fields–a virtual sine causa of the type–this issue is a knockout and far surpasses the bulk of its competition in terms of the caliber of its production and preservation. Top pop at PCGS with only three finer at NGC. HID09801242017 © 2023 Heritage Auctions | All Rights Reserved
