This specimen was lot 2285 in Stephen Album sale 45 (Santa Rosa, CA, January 2023), where it sold for $1,560. The catalog description[1] noted, "BRITISH INDIA: Victoria, Empress, 1876-1901, AR ½ rupee, 1882-C, curved spikes variety, an attractive nearly mint state example, PCGS graded AU58." This type was issued at Calcutta and Bombay 1877-1901 in a bewildering array of varieties, including proofs, off-metal strikes and restrikes. The type is not rare but is infrequently seen compared to the silver rupee. It is distinguished from the type issued 1862-76 by the obverse legend, "VICTORIA EMPRESS" instead of "VICTORIA QUEEN."
Recorded mintage: 1,161,000, a somewhat scarce date.
Specification: 5.83 g, 0.917 fine silver.
Catalog reference: KM-491, S&W-6.183.
