British India. Victoria Proof 1/4 Rupee 1862-(C) PR65 PCGS, Calcutta mint, KM472. S&W-4.131 Type A/2. A wonderfully preserved Gem of this rare proof issue, with no evident marks or handling and rich tone throughout that opens up to vibrant mulitcolored hues when viewed at an angle beneath a light. From a technical standpoint, easily the finest we have seen of this elusive original striking in silver.
