<p>[QUOTE=&quot;The Meat man, post: 8521527, member: 135271&quot;]Hello fellow CT members,</p><p><br /></p><p>I recently acquired this silver rupee and I am trying to pin down its identity. I am totally unfamiliar with these coin types and wow, there seems to be a lot of uncertainty and variation!</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is the coin:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1506468[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Usually my go-to is Numista, but they did not have a particularly close match - the two main areas of difference being the cluster of dots right after the &quot;s o&quot; looking characters on the obverse - and the <i>lack</i> of a dot cluster in between the &quot;19&quot; and the star-like object on the obverse.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have learned that this type is a frozen date, i.e., not identifiable to a particular year. But I cannot seem to find a range given, either. And which mint?</p><p><br /></p><p>The closest I could find is this from NGC:</p><p><a href="https://www.ngccoin.com/price-guide/world/india-british-bengal-presidency-rupee-km-98.1-1202-19-cuid-1149018-duid-1489054" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.ngccoin.com/price-guide/world/india-british-bengal-presidency-rupee-km-98.1-1202-19-cuid-1149018-duid-1489054" rel="nofollow">India-British BENGAL PRESIDENCY Rupee KM 98.1 Prices &amp; Values | NGC (ngccoin.com)</a></p><p><br /></p><p>...but as you can see, this one still does not match the obverse perfectly in the matter of the dot cluster after the &quot;19&quot;. And it does not give much information anyway.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie20" alt=":banghead:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I would be mightily obliged if someone here could help me figure out more about this coin![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
