INDIA. Dewas (Senior Branch). Paisa, VS 2001 (1944). Vikrama Simha Rao (under George VI as Emperor). PCGS MS-62 Brown.
KM-13. One of the RAREST, and therefore most desirable examples from the entirety of Princely States coinage, this type was a World War II emergency issue and received very limited, if any, circulation. This example is the only of the type that PCGS has certified, and it quite probable that no more than handful survive to this day. Displaying no evidence of handling, this exceptional piece offers good mint red that clings to the legends. A slightly weak strike is the only plausible fault that can be raised against this piece, but given the astonishing rarity, this weakness amounts to nothing at all.
