India
British India. Victoria Proof Restrike 1/4 Rupee 1898-B PR66 PCGS, Bombay mint, KM490. A stunning selection from this ever-popular series of British India coinage, regardless of its status as an original or restrike. Clearly an earlier issue compared to those from the mid-20th century, yet still with abundant granularity indicating die rust. Despite this, the appearances are full and accented by a pleasing lavender patina streaking across both faces. The only occupant currently at PCGS's census and commensurate with bids consistent with that fact.
