<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Aidan Work, post: 192711, member: 1824&quot;]<b>Indian 1835 silver 1 Rupee.</b></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Steve,I think that it is a genuine coin,even though it is black from being in circulation for many years.As to the weight factor,it must be remembered that the planchets were punched out on a steam press.There was a bit of leeway allowed.I reckon that .3g difference in weight is nothing.</p><p><br /></p><p>That Cypriot coin dated 1955 is a 5 Mils (5/1000 Pound),not 5 Cents.Between 1955 &amp; 1982,there was 1,000 Mils in a Pound.Prior to this,the Cypriot Pound was divided into 20/- of 180 Piastres - 45 Piastres = 5/-.Since 1983,there are 100 Cents in a Cypriot Pound,just like in Malta.The 1956 5 Mils &amp; the 1957 100 Mils are very difficult to find.I managed to find a 1956 5 Mils by accident in a bulk lot of coins.Although it has some white stuff on it,it is the only 1956 5 Mils I have seen.The 3 Mils,25,50,&amp; the 1955 100 Mils always turn up.</p><p><br /></p><p>Aidan.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
