India One Rupee 1892

This attractive coin is part of a long series of British Indian coinage which began with the issues of the East India Company in the early nineteenth century. Buyers of these coins need to be aware thet Indian mints kept the dies used to

strike these coins, and in the twentieth century produced restrikes using original dies. The original dies were often rusty and had been "cleaned up" so it is usually possible for the educated collector to tell the difference. The restrikes are also valued by some collectors and sometimes fetch high prices at auction for rare issues.
