Assam, Lakshmi Simha (1770-80), octagonal Rupee, 11.33g, Sk. 1700 over 1699, type and legend as previous lot but rare date (RB. Q33.1 (plate coin); KM. 182), very fine.
The Rupees of the last years of Lakshmi Simhas reign are surprisingly rare, especially those of Sk. 1701 (see next lot). When writing their book, RB had not come across any rupee dated Sk. 1702, although Quarter-Rupees of that date are quite common.
Estimate: £70.00 - £90.00
