† Coins of India. East India Company. Bengal Presidency, Gold Mohur, Benares mint, AH 1201, Year 17/29 (PS 7.14; KM 31). Good extremely fine, very rare. Pridmore could not find enough different dates to make a full listing. Most of these coins have come from a find, seemingly sometime in the 1980s, where they had been ‘gently’ mounted together to form a very large necklace for an elephant. The sea wreck coins from KM 94 (those with light porosity and more likely to have a full planchet with most to all of the edge dots visible) probably came from a ship wreck found on a beach in Mauritius. Part of the David Fore Collection of British Indian Coins. £1000-1500
