NETHERLANDS EAST INDIES. Java (Under British United East India Company). Rupee, "AH 1668" [AH 1228] (1813/4)-Z. Surabaya Mint. NGC MS-64.
KM-247a; Sch-592b. Quite alluring and shimmering, this attractive near-Gem offers a pleasing tone and quality that is virtually unheard of. Compare to a PCGS MS-63, which realized a total of $3,720 in June 2018. The finest seen at NGC, and with an interesting error AH date--the middle two numbers being retrograde "2"s, which become "6"s in this convention.
Estimate: $3000 - $4000
