British India. Madras Presidency gold Mohur AH1172//6 (1817) MS62 NGC, Arkat mint, KM418, Fr-1584, Pr-238. Struck in the name of Alamgir II, this lustrous frozen-date issue features an attractive golden-orange tone and radiant surfaces. Tied with two other examples graded by NGC in MS62, it is surpassed only by a single specimen in MS63---the Larry Adams piece---which recently realized a hammer of $3,000 despite a minor edge bump and rim nick.
