About this item
Historical Significance A beautiful piece of Victorian-era India! This genuine 1899 Half Rupee was struck during the reign of Queen Victoria, who held the title of Empress of India. As one of the final years of her reign, this coin represents the pinnacle of British Imperial coinage in the subcontinent and is a cornerstone for any collection of British India history. Exquisite Design & Craftsmanship · Obverse: Features the elegant, crowned and robed bust of Queen Victoria facing left, wearing the Imperial Crown, with the regal legend "VICTORIA EMPRESS". · Reverse: The denomination "HALF RUPEE" and date "1899" are set within an intricately engraved, scroll-like wreath composed of Indian flora. · Details: The coin exhibits a wonderful, deep original antique tone (patina) that beautifully accentuates the raised lettering and the floral motifs, giving it a stunning, museum-quality appearance.
