INDIA. Portuguese India. 1/8 Rupia (Oitavo), 1881. NGC PROOF-65.
KM-309; Gomes-L1.11.01. The only proof example of the coin submitted to the grading services to date. Unlisted as a proof in both Gomes and Krause, and far more RARE than British Indian coinage, this Portuguese Indian coin is in a class all by itself. Icy mirrored fields produce a full cameo portrait, and with all the other traits that signify a proof striking. A superlative example that is sure to please the new owner of the collection it enters. NGC PROOF-65.
Estimate: $700.00- $1000.00
