Sikh Empire, Misl Period (VS 1822-56; 1765-99), Nanakshahi Rupee, Amritsar, VS 1848 ? (date not on flan), early leaf form on reverse (Herrli 01.07.04; Gurprit Singh 01.15.01; KM 20.1), many interesting shroff marks on edge, struck off centre, so date not on flan, darkly toned, very fine, scarce.
As the die on this coin shifted during striking, some parts of the die that are not usually visible are clear. On this coin the gaaf of Guru is extended to the top to an unusual extent, and also part of the border can be seen on the reverse.
Estimate: £260 - £300
