BRITISH INDIA: Victoria, Empress, 1876-1901, 3 coin set, 1879(b), early restrike proofs, includes; AV mohur obverse B, SW-6.7, KM-496, graded PF-63; AV 10 rupees SW-unlisted, KM-495, graded PF-63, AV 5 rupees obverse D, SW-6.26, KM-494, graded PF-62, all graded by NGC, n original case of issue, a very rare and desirable set! RRRR. It is very rare to encounter Bombay mint originals or restrikes and more so as part of an intact set in the original case of issue. Inside the case is a gold embossed inscription reading H. M. BOMBAY and the Imperial State Crown. The box appears to have been manufactured at the end of the 19th century. Paul Stephens and Randy Weir do not list early proof restrikes or original proofs for either the mohur or 10 rupee coins, but do mention an early proof restrike of the 5 rupee exists in the British Museum. We know of no other set in existence.
Estimate: 50,000- 60,000 USD
