1914-B George V Half Rupee

[PeaceBD]

Another addition to my BI half rupee collection. The 1914 Bombay mint half rupee with a mintage of just over 900,000 is I think a semi-key date of this series. I love the toning on this particular piece. What do you guys think? As always share pics if you have one.



Thanks

Very nice gem! I agree with brokencompass - love the surface especially of the reverse.   You are correct,  mintage wise its the lowest in the KGV 1/2 Rupee series and so its scarce especially in the grade that you have it in.    Although, the 1911 1/2 Rupee is the rarest "Type" coin for BI type collectors.  So all you need to do is change the 4 to a 1 and the elephant to a pig and you are set!!

Thanks Harry. Yes the coin has booming luster with some nice toning better visible in hand. Now only if I could find that 1911 half rupee.
