British India. Victoria gold Proof Restrike 10 Rupees 1878-(b) PR65★ NGC, Bombay mint, KM495, Prid-34, cf. S&W-6.20 (for Calcutta). An extraordinarily popular issue despite its status as a Restrike, struck by the Bombay mint by special order for collectors throughout the 19th and 20th centuries. Enveloped in heavy die polish contributing to superior watery fields, elevating a frosted, cameo-like portrait of Victoria. Largely devoid of visual imperfection, even to the scrupulous eye, and confirmed with the second finest technical designation assigned by both NGC and PCGS, this representative, designated the coveted "star," will doubtlessly be met with strong bidder enthusiasm. Accompanied by Sincona auction tag.
Ex. Sincona British Collection
