INDIA. 1/2 Pice, 1894-(C). Calcutta Mint. Victoria. NGC PROOF-64 Brown.
KM-484; S&W-6.581. An elusive date in proof, this pleasing example delivers rich luster and strong tomes of mint red remaining. The details are crisp and clear, with this example likely being an original striking or early restrike, as the luster is uninterrupted by lacquer or hairlining that is common on later restrikes. A beautiful piece that is quite assured many bids, as we were unable to trace a proof example of this date as having traded since 2013.
Estimate: $800 - $1200
