ex Ford Collection, lot 222
Maybe this was an inexpensive way to see what serious die polishing could do, more as an experiment because it was not done again until 1911. Even the Original Pattern Wenzel Rupees of India are not this deep of a mirror field.
Part of the Arielle Collection Of British Colonial Coins.
Estimate: £500-800
