<p>[QUOTE=&quot;satootoko, post: 54498, member: 669&quot;]There&#039;s no way to conclusively identify your 1879 Rupee as one of several genuine or restrike varieties of KM#492.&nbsp; Most of the legitimate ones were minted at Bombay, but Calcutta also produced some.&nbsp; They are distinguished by small rosettes and dots, which can&#039;t clearly be seen in photos.&nbsp; The values range from about $5-35 in the 3rd Ed. 19th Century Krause, and probably haven&#039;t changed much in the current 4th Ed.</p><p><br /></p><p>The 1893 also KM#492, and with several varieties, including both Calcutta and Bombay intmarks, and some restrikes, is valued in the same ballpark as the 1879.</p><p><br /></p><p>The bust, of course, is Queen Victoria, listed only as Empress of India, and with none of the other titles appearing on most of her worldwide coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
