This example is the sole finest known for the catalog number with negligible PMG comments of "Annotations, Ink Stamps" which any seasoned collector knows are to be expected with this issue. Good centering and deep inks are noted. The paper is largely intact with some minor holes also typical for the issue. Ashoka column serving as the vignette at left, and also found at right as the watermark. H.V.R.IYENGAR Signature. Gateway of India, Bombay watermark on the reverse. To the left of center on the reverse is where the ink stamps are observed. This treasure is surely to be a staple of any World Paper Collection, and suitable for big game collectors, along with advanced collectors of India. Likely an opportunity that will not present itself again for quite some time.
Estimate: $30000.00- $40000.00
