Description
Storied 1939 Rupee
British India. George VI Rupee 1939-(b) MS62 NGC, Bombay
mint, KM555, S&W-9.13, Prid-235. Reeded edge. Following the
cessation of silver Rupee coinage after 1922, production resumed
only in late 1939-1940 to support wartime economic demand, with
most 1938-dated pieces struck in 1940. The elusive 1939 Rupee,
believed to have been minted in very small numbers and surviving in
only 1-2% of its original mintage, is considered one of the key
rarities of the series. Pretty toning highlights this exquisite
representative from one of the great trophies in 20th-century
British Indian numismatics, very seldom encountered finer.Metal: Silver
Diameter: 30mm
Weight: 11.66g
ASW: 0.3437oz
Mintage: 2,450,000
