This specimen was lot 33259 in Heritage sale 3064 (Chicago, April 2018), where it sold for $2,040. The catalog description[1] noted, "British India. Madras Presidency gilt-copper Proof 20 Cash 1803 PR64 Deep Cameo PCGS, Soho mint. East India Company. A stellar piece with a sublime cameo effect and highly mirrored surfaces." The Madras mint, a facility of the British East India Company, minted pagodas and rupees under license from the Mughal emperor since the seventeenth century. This copper coin, however, was made in Birmingham along with one, ten and five cash. This specimen is likely a later restrike. The assets of the East India Company were transferred to the British government after the Indian Mutiny of 1857 and the mint was closed in 1869.
