India
British India. Victoria gold Mohur 1891-(c) MS64 NGC, Calcutta mint, KM496, Fr-1604, S&W-6.18. A gorgeous example of this scarce and desirable type, this piece exhibits soft, satiny fields and a twinkling of golden luster that nicely settles in the protected regions of the devices to produce a glimmering finish. While a spattering of small marks are noted on both obverse and reverse, they do little to dampen the coin's overall appeal. Currently tied with one other for the finest certified example seen by either NGC or PCGS.
