† Coins of India. East India Company. Bengal Presidency, Silver Rupee, in the name of Shah 'Alam II, mintname Murshidabad, AH 1202 Year 19, struck at Patna (PS 5.33; Pr 155; KM 98). Extremely fine, toned.
ex Pridmore Collection, with ticket.
Pridmore assigned this issue with the small dot in the right-hand circle of larger dots to Dacca; Stevens, however, has demonstrated that these coins were more likely to have been struck in Patna, the Dacca coins having the small dot in the left-hand circle of smaller dots.
Part of the David Fore Collection of British Indian Coins.
Estimate: £400-600
