MYSORE: Krishna Raja Wodeyar, 1799-1868, AE 25 cash (11.69g), Mahsir (= Mysore), ND, Cr-187, sardula on obverse; magnificent strike, far superior to normal issues, none of the many examples on CoinArchives even approach this quality, superb EF, RRR. In our opinion, this example is likely a pattern or presentation issue struck to promote the introduction of the 25 cash denomination.
Estimate: 200-280 USD
