INDIA. British East India Company. Mule Rupee Restrike, 1840.-(B). Bombay Mint. "William IV". NGC PROOF-61.
cf. KM-450.5 (for Calcutta Mint); S&W-1.49A. A visually stark Mule Rupee, this example displays the obverse of a William Rupee, with the reverse from an 1840 Rupee, produced for Victoria and dated three years after the death of William. Given the impressive nature of the mule, this example is certain to be highly prized by any collectors of British Indian coinage. The proof surfaces glint with an underlying luster, with strong gunmetal gray toning that tops the surfaces. An impressive Rupee that will certainly capture many excited bids.
