Foreign Coins and Tokens, G India, Princely States, Baroda, Sayaji Rao, gold mohur, VS.1946 (1889CE), bust r., rev. legend, scimitar and date within wreath, wt. 7.07gms. (KM.-), extremely fine and very rare
The engraving on the bust of this one-year type is finer than on the regular series. There is no evidence to suggest that this coin is a pattern, but it was clearly struck in limited numbers. An example of this coin was part of the David Fore Collection, sold in Baldwin's Auction 84 in September 2013 (lot 1242), where it realised £5,200 + buyer's premium. This date and change of design is not listed in KM.
