A small coin, and not quite Mint State, but with attractive toning. Though this coin was from the year when Victoria died, aged 81, after a 63-year reign, she remained forever young on the coins of British India. The handsome portrait here somewhat resembles the one used on her famous "Gothic" crowns from earlier in the reign. Meanwhile, the homeland coinage portrayed her more realistically as the elderly, veiled widow she was by then.

This was an inexpensive coin, and barely cost me more than the slab fee alone would have been, had I been the one who submitted it. It was exponentially less expensive than a Gothic crown, for sure!
