British India. George V gold Prooflike Restrike 15 Rupees 1918-(b) PL65 NGC, Bombay mint, KM525, Prid-26, S&W-8.2. A conditionally extremely scarce restrike of the 1918 15 Rupees, designated "PL" (Prooflike) by NGC. For this issue, it appears that "Proof" and "PL" have been used interchangeably by the grading service, as this offering appears identical to Proof-designated restrikes of the same date. Brilliant sun-gold, with a high degree of reflectivity observable in the fields and only the faintest hairline friction limiting the impressive grade from further heights, the offering ranks as the finest that we have seen in over a decade.
