British India. Bengal Presidency brass Famine Rupee Token 1874 MS63 NGC, Prid-32. A very scarce token coinage issued during the Great Famine of 1874 to exchange for grain, and almost never encountered in this choice condition, the present piece tied for the finest yet seen by NGC. Incredible iridescence dressed in electric neon and purple accentuates the finer features of the coin and presents a quality of eye appeal rarely rivalled. From the Hamilton Collection of British India Coins
