British India. Victoria gold Mohur 1884-(C) MS63 NGC, Calcutta mint, KM496, Fr-1604. Only 8,643 of this type were ever struck, the lowest mintage of the series, rendering it an extremely rare date especially in higher grades. Boldly and centrally struck with needle-sharp details and pleasing subtle luster, the planchet a rich butter-yellow and with extremely limited bagmarks, not a hint of wear across the high points; this exceptional choice Mint State example, tied for highest certified by either NGC or PCGS, is sure to cause a stir amongst collectors of the Indian numismatic series.
