India
French India. Pondicherry 2 Fanon ND (1720-1837) AU55 NGC, KM49. A splendid offering of this popular French colonial issue intensified by ample die polish and gorgeous champagne and light blue tones around the devices. NGC appears to have supposed this piece (erroneously) to be KM46, which was struck for a much shorter period.
