Just picked up quite a nice Rupee.

A-British-India-Rupee

It's tricky to see but there is an incuse B so it's Bombay mint.

Finding that B is like a game of "where's Wally?"

Any clue whereabouts I should be looking?

Whether its Bombay mint or not it's a nice coin, good details and natural looking.

Thanks

The incuse B is very tiny - I needed my loupe to define it. It's at 12 o'clock, near the bottom of the stem of the lotus flower (straight up from the "N" of ONE - in this picture is really just appears as a dark speck.

At least this has a mark - some of the earlier ones have a series of dots that are quite the pain to decipher.
