India
Selections from the Eric P. Newman Collection of World Coins. British India. George V Proof Rupee 1911-B, early restrike, S-W 8.16, PR66 NGC. A truly lovely example. The strike is superb, and the surfaces are free of any of the die rust and pebbling seen on the later restrikes. The fields are fully mirrored beneath gray and russet patina. An exceptional specimen in all aspects.
Estimate: 1500-2000 USD
