British India. Victoria Proof 1/2 Anna 1862-(C) PR64 Red and Brown NGC, Calcutta mint, KM468. Type B/II. At first glance this original offering presents beautiful, almost uniformly-covered mahogany surfaces; however, upon rotation the protected areas ignite with fiery-red luster, setting the razor-sharp design motifs aglow in absolute luminescence. Severely undervalued in the SCWC reference, this Proof issue captivates from all angles, and as such is entirely worthy of much attention in the current market.
Estimate: 1500-2000 USD
