from Steve Album sale 45, lot 2286

This specimen was lot 2286 in Stephen Album sale 45 (Santa Rosa, CA, January 2023), where it sold for $960. The catalog description[1] noted, "BRITISH INDIA: Victoria, Empress, 1876-1901, AR ½ rupee, 1892-B, an attractive mint state example, PCGS graded MS61." 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: 1,104,000 plus proofs.

Specification: 5.83 g, 0.917 fine silver.

Catalog reference: KM-491, S&W-6.214, Prid-302.
