INDIA. 2 Rupee "Experimental Coin", 2010. Hyderabad Mint. PCGS SP-64 Secure Holder.
KM-unlisted (see KM-395 for basic type). VERY RARE and presumably unpublished. This seemingly unlisted type is of an unusual design which was apparently not issued for circulation. The obverse displays the traditional Asoka lion pedestal and the countries name. The reverse features the denomination flanked by floral sprays with the date just below. Both obverse and reverse dies have two sets of horizontal lines with "EXPT" between them for "EXPERIMENTAL COIN" which has been added to the dies prior to striking. This example was produced by the Bombay mint as a "sample" or "experimental coin" in order to gain approval, similar in nature to a pattern or essay. PCGS SP-64 Secure Holder.
Estimate: $750.00- $1250.00
