British India. Madras Presidency 1/2 Pagoda ND (1807) XF45 NGC, Madras mint, KM344, Pr-153. Variety with 15 stars to either side of Pagoda. An appealing example of the type, which was often struck on large plugs made from Spanish and Spanish Colonial 8 Reales. The undertype, not always visible, is here revealed giving just a slight hint as to the piece's origin, with the "H", likely from "HISPANIA", just faintly visible near the edge of the reverse.
