SIKH EMPIRE: AR ½ rupee, Amritsar, VS1901, KM-19, Herrli--, with the frozen year VS1885 on the reverse, peacock below the actual date on the obverse, a lovely example of this rare type! PCGS graded AU50, RR. This type was published for the first time in the ONS Journal No. 219 (Spring 2014), along with a similar piece dated VS1902, both unique and previously unpublished, in a fascinating article by G.S. Gujral about the Morashahi rupees of VS1861-1863 and the appearance of the peacock.

Estimate: 6,000-7,000 USD
