| Lot description: INDIA. Radhanpur. Nazarana Gold Kori, AH 1333 (1915). Muhammad Jalaluddin Khan (Under George V as Emperor). NGC MS-64. Fr-1366A (Very Rare). Weight: 4.39 gms. One of the single RAREST Princely States issues we have ever offered, this Nazarana gold Kori offers the chance to acquire a numismatic treasure from an issuer that is most elusive. It is unclear the nature and origin of this piece, with some speculation that it was produced as a wedding commemorative for the marriage of Muhammad Jalaluddin. Whatever the reason, this piece is clearly amongst the most desirable of all Indian issues, and we are thrilled to be able to offer such a historic offering. Almost all known coinage from Radhanpur are copper Paisa from the 19th Century. Given this piece's unusual composition in gold, along with late production time, it is most certainly a special Nazarana issue, produced in extremely limited quantities. This lot therefore offers the dual chance at a 20th Century and Gold issue from Radhanpur, a chance that is unlikely to be repeated. Estimate: $10000 - $15000 |  |
