That is a beauty, love the toning. I can not see the mint mark. Here is a slightly rougher 1875 B (dot) Rupee.

This one came today, and I do not yet know what it is. Kinda neat coin, AE 23mm D and 9.37 grams. Looks like a Bactrian camel on one side, or is it a zebu?

I saw http://www.psindiancoins.com/ which is a new reference if people haven't already seen it.

 

Thanks, that appears to be a useful reference.

 

I have a question on modern Indian coins. I was trying to put together a set of 2019 Indian coins for my grandson. As I understand it, there was a new series planned for the 1,2,5,10 and 20 rupee coins with "raindrops". The 2,5 and 10 rupee coins issued pretty much immediately while the 20 rupee took awhile and I'm not sure if the 1 rupee issued at all. I think there were "standard" issues for these coins also. I have the 2-20 rupee raindrop coins but would like a 1 rupee raindrop. Does anyone know if these were issued?

 

I just checked with numista and do not see a "raindrop" type 1 rupee in 2019, 20 or 21.

 

Thank you for looking, didn't know if it were just something I missed.
