Alwar. Mangal Singh Proof Rupee 1891 PR63 NGC, Rajgarh mint, KM46. Original striking. In a word, phenomenal. Boasting a level of eye appeal and visual allure that remains quite singular and distinctive to original proofs for the period, the present offering boasts a fantastic marbling of bright cobalt and magenta elements, swirling through aged silver surfaces with color that wells to gold and apricot at the peripheries. While tied in technical grade with the David Fore specimen which we sold for $4700 in August 2017 ANA auction, it is in the present cataloger's opinion that this piece is comparably finer and undeniably possessed of a more exquisite toning palate. Numismatic eye-candy to be sure, and an opportunity not to be missed by British India and world crown collectors alike. From the Hamilton Collection of British India Coins
