(sold for $2239.0)
† Coins of India. Princely States. Bengal Nawabs or East India Company, Bengal Presidency, Gold ¼-Mohur, 2.75g, probably in the name of ‘Alamgir II, Year 4, mintname off-flan but either Murshidabad or Kalkata. Extremely fine and very rare. Part of the David Fore Collection of British Indian Coins. While the style of this and the following coin is without doubt that of Murshidabad or Kalkata, with the multi-rayed small sun mintmark typical of both mints at this time, it is not really possible to determine whether this is an issue of the Nawab of Bengal from his mint at Murshidabad or of the British at Calcutta. It is recorded that in October 1757 gold was sent to the Calcutta mint to be coined into Mohurs but, according to Dr Paul Stevens, there is no indication in the records of fractions being struck. £400-600
