WORLD COINS. INDIA. East India Company. Madras Presidency. Gilt-Copper Proof 1/48-Rupee, 1797 (Pr 318; KM 398a).In PCGS holder graded PR58.
There are no known gilt-gold examples of this issue (as some catalogues report). This was the time of a very serious interest in the 18th century "Conder" tokens, of which many were made for collector use only. The Soho Mint was producing a number of gilt proof examples of these tokens and one can imagine all Soho products being made available in gilt proof.
Estimate: $600
