[QUOTE="Ian, post: 165940, member: 283"]Nice one!....erm, make that `two'. :) At one stage I saw the 1860's + rupee as being the poor man's Gothic florin, but they really have a character all of their very own. At one point they were the only coins I actively collected. An obsession! I collected by date, mint, and all the variations.
