<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ls8driver, post: 779727, member: 15006&quot;]I have just received two identical East India Company 1840 rupees. The&nbsp; scan shows the better of the two coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>They are 30.6mm diameter and weigh 11.6g. the wreath has (after many recounts!) 28 berries and the diamonds are large. The obverse has two raised initials which are probably W W. I cannot see any mint marks. The coins have a type II obverse (divided legend).</p><p><br /></p><p>Based on the above, , I have tentatively identified the coins as KM# 458.2.</p><p>Krause does not have an image of the type II coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>Can anyone with more knowledge of British India coins than me confirm my identification or point me in the right direction if I&#039;m wrong?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
