NETHERLANDS EAST INDIES. Java. 1/2 Rupee, AH 1229 / AS 1741 (1814). PCGS AU-55 Gold Shield.
KM-246; Sch-599 (RRR). Choice quality for this RARE issue, possessing pale gray and yellow tone over obviously lustrous surfaces. While commonplace on the issue, a bit of softness appears in the central strike, and if not for it, this piece could very possibly be considered among the finest extant. As it is, not only is this the finest example of the date certified by PCGS or NGC, but it's also the finest for the entire type.
Estimate: $2000.00- $3000.00
