Silver
William IV, silver ¼ rupee, Mule, proof restrike, 1840, Bombay mint, letter 'F' in relief raised on truncation, 10 berries, plain '4' in date, no dot after date, S&W 1.71, unlisted in PR. This coin features the obverse of a William ¼ rupee paired with the reverse of an 1840 ¼ rupee, produced for Victoria.
The surfaces are adorned with strong gunmetal-gray toning that settles beautifully across the fields. Given the impressive nature of the mule, this example is certain to be highly prized by any collectors of British Indian coinage.
NGC PF61 (Top Pop - Highest grade), Exceptionally rare.
NGC lists only one other example of this type in Details grade.
Stevens and Weir, list the coin as minted in Calcutta; however, we believe it was probably minted in Bombay.
A similar specimen was sold in Baldwin's Auctions 78 (2013), Lot no. 445.
