British India. William IV gold Proof Restrike Mohur 1835-(b) PR63+ NGC, Bombay mint, KM451.1, Prid-17, S&W-1.16. Reeded edge. The second example of this wondrous, first-year East India Company Mohur up for offer within this great sale. Though not quite of Gem technical quality, this "plus" designated Choice Proof is not far off in terms of overall visual appeal. The canary-yellow patina is even throughout and the fields display signs of being struck with a recently polished die. The picturesque lion and palm tree reverse displays particularly well due to crisp, high level detail, and just enough frost on the raised motifs to create some visual contrast with the fields.
