INDIA. PORTUGUESE INDIA. Goa. Rupia, 1856. Pedro V. NGC AU-55.
KM-279; Gomes-09.01. Pockets of bright amber luster pierce through the surfaces of this exceptionally well preserved rupia. Krause prices the issue at $550 in VF, the highest grade listed. With very little handling and all design elements centered on the flan, eye appeal is astonishing for the crudely produced issue and aficionados of Goa coinage are bound to take notice.
Estimate: $300 - $500
