British Indian Silver Coins

India has a very good store of " Commonwealth" ( British time ) stamps and coins. Indian issued silver coins prices ( Sikka Chehrey Shahi - Coin With a Royal Face ) " are rising steadily. This trend can be analyzed from ebay.in auctions

With India becoming a global power there is a re rating of all collectible items ( including  coins ) connected with India .

Old timers remember when these British Indian silver coins were in circulation . There were particular names for some silver coins :-

MALKA GUTT WALI - Queen Victoria with Plaited ( Gutt ) Hair . This is the East India Company Issue ( all such Rupee .coins bear a single date .i.e. 1840 ) 

http://www.chiefacoins.com/Database/Countries/East_India_Company.htm 

 Later Victoria coins (Post 1862 ) do not have the " Gutt "
http://www.chiefacoins.com/Database/Countries/India-Victoria.htm 

RODDA- ( meaning Bald ) This refers to Edward VII ( whose head on the observe of the coin was without crown  )

http://www.chiefacoins.com/Database/Countries/India-Edward_VII.htm

DOPPAR ( meaning Half ) These refer to the Post 1940  George VI silver coins when because of World War II  high cost silver content in coins was HALVED

http://www.chiefacoins.com/Database/Countries/India-George_VI.htm 

These silver coins are a good avenue for investing in silver ( But remain beware of Fakes ).

Now at Sale at Ebay -Very Rare Calcutta Mint 1900 -Medallion / Seal / Coin

GOLDEN CHANCE TO ACQUIRE A VERY RARE COLLECTABLE ITEM ( EARLIER DISPLAYED ON THIS SITE )

 

Very Rare Calcutta Mint 1900 -Medallion / Seal / Coin ?? - Please Guide

Hello,
I wonder if it’s possible to tell me what I have here, (please see the attached photographs).
As I cannot find anything even similar to it on the internet.
It either made of bronze, gold or some very heavy metal; its sizes are 6 cm wide (across the base) and 1.8 cm high,
It weight is 12 ¾ Ounces (361.5 Grams or 0.8 Pounds).
Stamped on its side is “CALCUTTA MINT 1900”
The front has an very detailed raised engraving depicting six Indian solders with guns, swords and one horse, the back has stamped lettering but has been dented as if it has been hit many times that they are very hard to make out, possibly one is WELLI.........,  another looks like G.G. SOFER and there is G.M.P stamped separately.
I wondered if it’s a seal or stamp of some kind, I think it’s too detailed for a paperweight and there are none on the internet.
Have you seen one before?
Thanks for your help.

Dear Sir ,

You can very easily find out whether it is Gold or Bronze ( from any Gols Smith ) . There is world of difference , in the intrinsic value , between gold and bronze.

Guidance Wanted on Bombay Presidency Copper Coin 1794






Hello i want detail information on my old rare coin .

And its name is

British India Bombay Presidency copper coin 1794. And whats the price
of coin

dason rodrigues 

dasonrodrigues@gmail.comm

============================================================================ 



Blog Writer's Comments

1794 East India Co. ( Bombay Presidency )One Pie Coin ( Soho Mint ) From Blog Writer's Collection

This 1794 copper one Pie ( EIC - in Heart Insignia and on reverse Tarazu ) is one of the earliest specimens of Steam Machined coin ( in Soho Mint of England )

Soho Mint had minting coins for East India Company using Boulton And Watt Steam Engine run machines , even before they started making coins for British Government .

Before 1835 standardization ( common coinage ) Bombay Presidency produced separate coins.It is interesting to note Aden ( Yemen ) then was part of Bombay Presidency and these coins circulated in Adan also ( note the Persian Script )

This coin has a Rotational Error ( Obverse and Reverse mismatch of 180 o , or like 12 o Clock and 6 o clock ) thus making is very rare.
