INDIA. Mysore. Rupee, AH 1243 "Year 35" (1827/8). Mysore Mint. Krishna Raja Wodeyar. NGC MS-67.
KM-C-207. In the name of Shah Alam II. Offering quality that is seemingly unheard of, this staggering Gem presents a sharp strike with bold calligraphy, a steely gray color, and tremendously brilliant luster emanating throughout. The regnal year on issues such as this remain a mystery, as there is no correlation of actual royal chronology. As such, it is the AH date that likely indicates the year in which it was struck. Rather interestingly, on this example, the AH date is rendered left to right rather than how it appears on most from the series.
Estimate: $700 - $1000
