This specimen was part of lot 35520 in Heritage sale 3038 (Dallas, January 2015), which sold for $1,175. The catalog description[1] noted, "Republic Seven-Coin Proof Set 1950-(B), Bombay mint, KM-PS1. Comprised of Pice - Rupee. All coins choice proof, with some lightly-toned. Sold with original I.G. Mint Bombay/Alipore envelopes." No Indian coins exist dated 1948-49, 1947 dated coins being used instead. When Nehru withdrew from the British Commonwealth and declared India a republic in 1950, new coins were issued, including this quarter rupee from the Bombay mint (sixteen annas = one rupee). The coinage was decimalized in 1957 and this denomination replaced by the 25 paisa.
Recorded mintage: 7,650,000 plus proofs.
Specification: 2.50 g, nickel.
Catalog reference: KM 5.1.
