India ND (1943) P-20e PMG Choice UNC 64 EPQ 100 Rupees
Calcutta circle, Deshmukh signature. A wonderful, fully original example of this popular type from India, featuring the portrait of King George VI at right. As we mentioned in the previous two lots this type is avidly collected by variety. For collectors seeking just a single high grade type, this would be a perfect example, as its originality truly makes it standout among its peers. Strong embossing and originality are particularly noteworthy, and this example is free of spindle holes (staple holes at left are as issued), writing or other distractions. PMG mentions "Staple holes at issue".
