Minted by the prestigious East India Company between 1835-1840, this coin features the distinguished profile of the British monarch expertly engraved by the renowned William Wyon, one of the era's most celebrated coin designers.
Struck in sterling silver (.917 fineness) with a substantial weight of 11.66g, this 30.5mm round coin exemplifies the craftsmanship of milled coinage technology from the colonial period. The obverse displays the regal bust of William IV with the inscription "WILLIAM IIII, KING" in Latin script, showcasing the artistic standards of early 19th-century British coinage.
What makes this specimen particularly compelling is its high grade and rarity designation (V-136), making it a coveted addition to serious numismatic collections. As a demonetized piece from India's pre-independence era, it serves as a tangible connection to British colonial history and the evolution of Indian currency. Collectors of world coins, British colonial memorabilia, and Indian historical artifacts will recognize its investment potential and historical significance. This is an authentic treasure that combines numismatic artistry, precious metal content, and historical importance.
