Hello CCF friends

could anybody please help me sort the variant of this silver rupee.
can't seem to locate a mint, supposed to be on the left ribbon (prolly gone?) it has 19 berries
and I think large diamonds or are they small?

There is no mint mark I can see, that should make it Bombay, if I recall. Check the neck truncation, the designer initials should be present and will tell you mint and years of issue.

There is a slight clash on the reverse But this isn't that unusual with these coins.
