Showcase Auction Of British Empire Coinage July 2

Heritage Auctions - The continued growth of the world and ancient coin market has inspired the expansion of Heritage Auctions' multi-consignor, thematic Showcase auctions. These auctions concentrate on specific areas of interest within the numismatic community, presenting a curated selection of coins for collectors to enjoy. Next up is our July 2 Spotlight on Coins of the British Empire, a selection of over 400 coins with particular focus in British India and Africa.



An example of the outstanding offerings from British India in this auction is lot 21220, a gold Mohur dated 1841, struck at the Madras mint and graded MS62 by NGC. This is a rarer Mohur type, the first of its type we have brought to auction, peppered by handling marks but maintaining an appealing state of preservation. It is one of the higher graded examples out of the mere eleven specimens certified at NGC.
