sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21789 Posts	Posted 12/17/2019 5:24 pm Looks a bit 'pasty' in the pictures and rough surface around the legends ( rev.). Rim denticles near 'N' look dodgy (obv.). This one perhaps a pressure die cast fake? To confirm authenticity, check for weight (11.66 grams), and ping tone against another known genuine silver rupee Victoria to George V.

muddyknuckles Valued Member United States 272 Posts	Posted 12/17/2019 5:46 pm compare the 8 and 4 on your coin with the NGC coin here the a in east? Not a pro hopeful I am wrong but yours does appear a little sloppy with the letters and different numbers would make me wary. Neat coin none the less maybe this image will help get an answer. different amounts of berries way different leaf structure above the "one" besides the not so uniform letters and numbers there appear to me to be red flags everywhere.

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21789 Posts	Posted 12/17/2019 6:55 pm There are very many sight die variations with early British Indian Colonial generally. Because of this, die markers are not the easiest way to authenticate them, although perhaps sometimes helpful. Report this Post to the Staff

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21730 Posts	Posted 12/18/2019 11:45 am I would say it was a counterfeit. Even though there are small variations, the main copy font would remain the same and in this case it is not even close. I would take it back and get a refund. Report this Post to the Staff
