Alwar. Victoria Proof Rupee 1891 PR63 NGC, KM46. Original striking. Deeply toned, with hints of dark blue and magenta converging with a sublimely gray smokiness, this exceptionally rare piece exudes tremendous eye-appeal and charm. A beautiful and stunning bilingual issue with the timeless "gothic style" bust of Queen Victoria.
