INDIA. Travancore. Medallic 1/4 Pagoda, (1870-1931). NGC MS-67+.
Fr-1417; Bruce-9. According to Bruce these presentation coins were struck prior to the weighing in ceremony of the Maharajah. The balance of his weight in these gold coins were distributed amongst the learned Brahmins and are referred to as Tulabhara Kasu. The legend reads - Sri Patmanabha-, the national deity. Truly an exquisite example with lovely satiny lemon-yellow surfaces and an excellent strike. The quality of this piece can not be overstated. NGC MS-67+.
Ex: Mortimer Hammel Collection.
Estimate: $1800.00- $2200.00
