I've been looking at Numista for more information about Maldives 1913 4 lariat.

It's a pretty interesting coin supposedly struck in UK.

Mintage-Of-Maldives-1913-4-Lariat?

Mintage seems to be quite confusing. Mintage is supposedly 20,000 but a good amount was removed from circulation? How many were left...?

The mint name is "Male Mahaldíb" but it was actually struck at Birmingham - so Ralph Heaton and Sons or just Heaton Mint as it was known.

I'm not a big fan of mintage statistics. KM doesn't give a mintage. Numista says 20,000.

Market value is not terribly high. An NGC MS65 sold in a lot with three other slabbed Maldives for $100: https://www.numisbids.com/sale/9295/lot/?lot=75512

Around $10 unslabbed, even in high grade: https://www.numisbids.com/sale/7149/lot/?lot=1955
For me, that's all that matters.

It can mean the mintage is much higher than you are thinking, or that demand is very low.
Or both.
