British India. George V Original Proof 1/4 Rupee 1912-C PR65 PCGS, Calcutta mint, KM518, SW-8.139. A stunning example of this amazingly rare original Proof issue from one of the finest collections of India coins. Both sides exhibit Argent-gray toning over minimally marked surfaces. The strike is superb and the fields deeply mirrored with frosted devices. The only original example certified by either PCGS or NGC, with an impeccable pedigree.
Ex. David Fore Collection (Baldwin's 5/2013 - Lot 492), with the auction flip.
