F. Prid 254. GK 369. Very Fine, Cleaned. Rare. (In Numismatics, Mule coins have held a particular fascination for collectors because they are produced from unusual pairings of obverse and reverse dies. The standard combination used in the Calcutta mint for its 1862 1/2 Rupees was Obverse A dies with the reverse I die and Obverse C dies in conjuction with Reverse II dies. In exceptional and rarely seen instances, the dies were mixed, and Obvese A dies were used in conjuction with Reverse II as in the present coin. The 1862 Cal 1/2 Re AII is usually referred to as a Mule or a Transitional Mule.) |
