British India. Victoria gold Proof Restrike 10 Rupees 1870-(c) PR64 Cameo PCGS, Calcutta mint, KM479, Prid-29, S&W-4.16. Mature bust, without initials on neck variety. Reeded edge. A notably challenging and highly coveted restrike issue, and one which proves exceptionally fleeting when located in comparable tiers of preservation. While Victoria's portrait displays light granularity, a characteristic typical of these Restrikes from reworking of the dies, this does little to diminish the overall allure of the deep expanses and crisp devices. Certainly a great rarity when located this fine and problem-free.
