    Yes sir, it looks amazingly familiar! image I'm glad you're enjoying ownership. Have you found the tripling of the letters on the obverse?

    I had no idea this coin had a Jester providence! image

    Was expecting somebody else to reply. image

    Will have to pull it from the bank and put it under the loupe.

    Thanks for the tip.

    That half rupee reminded me of the quarter rupee I sold a couple of months ago:

    Admittedly, the toning on the 1/4 isn't nearly as nice, but still...

    I remember Syracusian sharing the picture with me. This is one of the most stunningly toned gem piece I have come across in this series where most of the coins are dipped blast white. Here is a nicely toned coin of an earlier date
