British India. Victoria gold Mohur 1879-c MS63 NGC, Calcutta mint, KM496, Prid-17, S&W-6.6. Mintage: 19,000. Of great importance to the series as a scarce earlier date, this choice selection remains in wholly admirable condition for the type, which was produced for circulation, unlike the subsequent Restrikes produced. Eye appeal is strong, a product of devices struck to full accuracy and a soft expression of satiny luster in the fields, making the present specimen an ideal target for the collector seeking a strong example of this widely recognized British colonial type. From the Hamilton Collection of British India Coins
