INDIA. Portuguese India. Goa. Rupia, 1798. Goa Mint. Maria I. NGC MS-62.
KM-205; Gomes-36.04. Almost beyond words, this splendid Rupia surpasses nearly all other competitors from the type, owing to its superior state of preservation. This example is the only of this date to be certified as Mint State, and therefore should be counted as an ASTONISHINGLY RARE. Bearing a supremely strong strike, which is nearly as important as the amount of wear on these types, full details are visible in the reverse shield and obverse bust. Still silvery and lustrous, this survivor displays itself as if it has almost survived in a time capsule undisturbed until present day. To view all items from the Yashoda N.
