| Lot description: BRITISH INDIA: William IV, 1830-1837, AV mohur, 1835(b), KM-451.1, S&W-1.16, Prid-17, Bombay Mint proof restrike, no dot after date, no initials on truncation, edge straight-grained, NGC graded Proof 61. From as early as 1806 the East India Company had hoped to achieve a single currency for all of its Indian Presidencies. This was achieved in 1833 when the rupees of Bengal moved into line with those of Madras and Bombay. After some experimentation in 1834, by Act XVII of August 17, 1835, the Company moved forward towards a uniform coinage, not only of weight standard, but also of design. Under the new system the silver rupee was legal tender. The gold double mohur and mohur coins, although initially passing at 30 and 15 rupees, were to float in terms of the rupee according to the metal market. The gold coins were not legal tender. Estimate: 10 000-12 000 USD Starting price: 8500 USD |  |

| Lot description: India British India. William IV gold Proof Restrike Mohur 1835-(b) PR63+ NGC, Bombay mint, KM451.1, Prid-17, S&W-1.16. Reeded edge. The second example of this wondrous, first-year East India Company Mohur up for offer within this great sale. Though not quite of Gem technical quality, this "plus" designated Choice Proof is not far off in terms of overall visual appeal. The canary-yellow patina is even throughout and the fields display signs of being struck with a recently polished die. The picturesque lion and palm tree reverse displays particularly well due to crisp, high level detail, and just enough frost on the raised motifs to create some visual contrast with the fields. https://coins.ha.com/itm/india/british-india/india-british-india-william-iv-gold-proof-restrike-mohur-1835-b-pr63-ngc-/a/3113-31213.s?type=DA-DMC-CoinArchives-WorldCoins-3113-01082024 HID02906262019 © 2023 Heritage Auctions | All Rights Reserved Estimate: 15000-20000 USD |  |

| Lot description: India British India. William IV gold Proof Restrike Mohur 1835-(b) PR65 PCGS, Bombay mint, KM451.1, Prid-17, S&W-1.16. Reeded edge.

It is rare to find a William IV restrike Mohur with significant eye appeal and no signs of handling; we anticipate this distinguished specimen will find its way into a world-class collection. https://coins.ha.com/itm/india/british-india/india-british-india-william-iv-gold-proof-restrike-mohur-1835-b-pr65-pcgs-/a/3113-31212.s?type=DA-DMC-CoinArchives-WorldCoins-3113-01082024 HID02906262019 © 2023 Heritage Auctions | All Rights Reserved Estimate: 20000-25000 USD |  |
