I was heavy into British India coins before I got into Ancients, here are some of my examples from my personal collection. I love the designs, so beautiful.</p><p><br /></p><p>--</p><p>*Now as far as your question about the 1862 Rupee, my understanding was that even after 1862, they continued to strike Silver coins with the date &#039;1862&#039; and would add a dot below for each year after 1862..... now that is just what I heard from a friend, it could be wrong.</p><p>--</p><p><br /></p><p>First, here are two pictures of my 1900 incuse B Rupee, it still has alot of good detail on the crown she wears. I like it, it was one of my first silver British Indian coins.... also here is a 1906 Calcutta Mint, 2 Annas coin of Edward VII (the holder it is in somewhat obscures the date in this photo... and here is a pic of a type I always liked.... the ones struck in Lahore (present day Pakistan) you can see the &#039;L&#039; mintmark at the bottom, right beneath the centered flower at 6 o&#039;clock. This one is from 1944. And last but not least, the square bronze one... that is from the Indian State of Mewar, it is a 1/4 Anna from 1942. I have quite a few more variations and types, some nicer, some less... these are just some of my favorites.... I will post my #1 favorite which is a sea salvaged 1808 East India Company coin in very high grade. It is one of my favorite coins of all my British Commonweath type coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
