† Coins of India. East India Company. Bengal Presidency, Silver Rupees (2), in the name of Shah 'Alam II, mintname Murshidabad, struck at Calcutta, AH 1203 Year 19, AH 1205 Year 19, 23mm (PS 2.179, 2.181; Pr 146, 147). Good very fine and about extremely fine. (2)
Pridmore says these are partially machine made. There are a couple of styles for this date combination. We have seen fully dated pieces on large flans of 25mm+ and undated pieces (as in the the next lot), even though there is room for the date. New machinery allowed much experimentation.
Part of the David Fore Collection of British Indian Coins.
Estimate: £100-150
