Queen Victoria 1841 gold coin (East India Company)

[Abbas]

Hello:

This gold coin has been in my mums bank locker for ages. I haven't touched, it is as it is, the photos aren't that great either. I have found information on the net about this coin and I have been told by someone who saw it that its Madras mint. I wanted more info about this coin and how much would it be for? Thank you

[Mr T]

Do you have bigger, clearer photos?

[Abbas]

I found two more. I hope they can help. Thanks

[Mr T]

Madras struck coins are supposed to have an incuse S on the Queen's neck-line which I don't see. Without the S it would be from Bombay or Calcutta. The catalogue I'm using (by Stevens and Weir) says it's worth 2000 something (pounds I assume) in VF but your coin is Fine I would say, so maybe 1000 pounds.

Lovely coin, I have never seen one is it a sovereign equivalent?

This one sold for 700 at DNW. Condition is not too dissimilar to yours.

Off the top of my head I think it is bigger than a sovereign.

I would like thank you all for your invaluable input. Thank you all very much once again.
