British India. Madras Presidency & Ceylon copper Mule Proof 1/48 Rupee 1797//(1802) PR64 Red and Brown Cameo NGC, Soho (Birmingham) mint, Prid-376 (Bengal Presidency). Extremely rare as a die pairing and in all likelihood unique in the present condition, with significant original mint color over the surfaces and outstanding reflectivity remaining in the recessed fields; a stark cameo contrast only adds to the appeal. A coin of which the importance would be difficult to overstate to the specialist in the field. Truly spectacular!From the David Vice Collection
