AH, I see. Well there were coins struck at both Calcutta and Bombay, and both had raised and incuse varieties. (Sorry, I should have been clearer about there being two mint marks for this date). As to the mint mark being above the date, that is just perplexing. I'm really not quite sure what to tell you since there was only one reverse type for this date, and the mint mark was usually just in the large flower beneath the date. I know the the mint marks were hand punched, so that can cause some variation in the exact placement within the flower, but its presence above the date is just odd. Maybe you've discovered a rare variety! haha
