COINS, ASIAN TERRITORIES, DECIMAL CURRENCY, PROOFS, CEYLON Victoria (1837-1901), Four Piece Silver OMS Proof Set, ¼-Cent, ½-Cent, Cent and 5-Cents, 1890, off metal strikes in silver (KM 90a, 91a, 92a, 93a). Choice uncirculated Proofs, the set with evenly matched tone. (4)
Krause doesn't list the 5-Cents. This has all the appearance on being an early striking, but much more study needs to be done on these coins to allow us to gauge accurately when they were struck. The trouble is there are not enough coins in the market place to allow a good study of their striking characteristics.
Estimate: £2000-3000
