Bombay Presidency, Surat, Mohur, 1802, Bombay mint, privy mark 3, in the name of Shah 'Alam II, with frozen regnal year 46, 11.53g (Pr -). Very fine and extremely rare, believed to be the second recorded example.
Pridmore only recorded this privy mark on the gold panchia (1/3-mohur); this coin appears to be struck from the same dies as the panchia illustrated in Pridmore (no. 260). See The New York Sale XVII, 9 January 2008, lot 397, for the only other known example.
Estimate: £2,500-3,000
