[QUOTE="bgarg, post: 290659, member: 1876"]I am away from my reference books, so can't give you the KM numbers etc. but it's a "continuous legend" type mohur and if I recall correctly, their are no proof restrikes known for these mohurs. There were only business strike mohurs issued and they were easily available in market until few years ago. I recall visiting few jewelers in "Javari bazaar' in Bombay and one can buy these for little premium above melt. Those days are now history and some of the prices realized in recent auctions for these mohurs are just insane. The coin in picture looks washed and if I have to make the decision based on image, my offer will be close to bullion value. It's tough to comment on authenticity based on just the image as I have seen some very nicely done mohurs in past. And if you look the date carefully, why the second "1" in date looks like 'I' (unless someone is calling it a die-break) Be careful and check the seller's return policy before making an offer.
