[Adv. Girish bhambhani]

I guess this is A / I "B" Incuse variety?
Is this variety of 1889 one rupee coin unlisted in Pridmore?
Is this a rare variety?
Kindly advice.

1889 One rupee are normally identified with a Type C obverse - but that do look like a Type A obverse. British India Victoria Coinage is thought to have more than 72 varieties & some are still unlisted . Not much pointers out their to authenticate it - weight & size might help - but wishful thinking it might be a unlisted variety.

Weight: 11.50 gms approx
Diameter: 30.45 mm approx
Hope this helps!

When did type A stop being used? Do you have the Stevens and Weir book to check?

[Adv. Girish bhambhani]

No idea..
No I do not have the book..

[Mister T]

Looks like A1/I or A3/I using Stevens and Weir notation.
It's not documented in their book (which as far as I know is the most up to date reference book), and it seems like the different obverse As get intermittent rare usage between 1888 and 1900.
