<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Aidan Work, post: 132554, member: 1824&quot;]Biju,I think the mintmark appears in the area near the date.I know that is the case on the later 1 Rupee coins of the Empire of India.</p><p><br /></p><p>In the 1840 dated silver coins from the 2 Annas upwards,there are 2 obverse types - Continuous,which has </p><p>&#039;VICTORIA QUEEN&#039; above the Queen&#039;s portrait,&amp; divided,which as &#039;VICTORIA&#039; in front of the Queen&#039;s portrait &amp; &#039;QUEEN&#039; located behind.</p><p><br /></p><p>There are also a couple of sub-types that do not have the designer&#039;s initials - W.W. (for William Wyon) located on the truncation.These are actually quite scarce pieces,just like the 1911 coins with the &#039;Pig&#039; obverse.</p><p><br /></p><p>Aidan.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
