Citizen H Posted 4 hours ago Posted 4 hours ago I have a few colonial coins that are in need of sorting out, today this was fished out of the pot of others, I'm pleased I did as after a warm soapy soak (and it was well minging!!!) all of the circulation hand grease and crud washed off left the coin's details come out. its pretty good for a Victorian Colonial...👍 unsure of the grade but better than just good... 27 berries, W.W. raised.

Paddy Posted 4 hours ago Posted 4 hours ago (edited) Nice coin! It is type 1 Rupee and has 19 berries I think. Minted in either Bombay or Madras - I find the books very confusing as to which for this series. There are several varieties but all broadly of the same value.

More detail here: https://en.numista.com/9718 now thats interesting, I did do a search and counted the other lower star shape as leaves with berries, making the 4 either side hence why I thought aha this is the 27 count...The numista I previously took a look at https://en.numista.com/24095 and this Numista only mentioned 28,27 & 25....many thanks for pointing this out 👍 Quote
