India
British India. Victoria gold Mohur 1841.-(c) (1850/1) MS62 NGC, Calcutta mint, KM462.1, S&W-3.7. Type A Bust, Type I Reverse. Divided Legend variety, with "W.W." and plain 4 (Large Date). A lovely Mint State example with strong luster and a sunny-gold chroma. A rare and difficult type to locate in any condition, let alone in this comparatively high Mint State bracket where only 2 grade finer at NGC. Stevens and Weir note that while dated 1841, the divided legend design was actually introduced in 1850/1.
From the Hamilton Collection of British India Coins
