INDIA. Dewas (Junior Branch). 1/12 Anna, 1888. Narayan Rao (under Victoria as Empress). NGC AU-58.
KM-1. VERY SCARCE in premium condition, with it being uncommon to find an example of this type better than Very Fine. This lovely defies this convention by providing well centered and only delicately handled details. Some pockets of verdigris are noted within the letters of the obverse and reverse, but considering the extreme demand and RARITY of the type, this example's general condition subsumes any concern about these patches. When put together, this example is certain to be a hugely popular lot, driving much interest, possibly far outstripping the estimates provided. To view all items from the Yashoda N.
