1903 Calcutta mint Rupee with accidental dot!

[Md. Shariful Islam]

I picked this 1903 Calcutta mint one rupee with die test mark. In one thread I come to know that there is no reference of using this type of die test mark in calcutta mint. But I think this will create a reference.

Interesting coin Islam! Although I don't think this is the die test mark that Pridmore is referring to like the one on the KGVI coins of Bombay and Lahore mint. Those were much smaller than this and easily missed. It was done on the side of the king's head. I also don't think that the mint would put a test mark on the King's head -- that would have been considered treason :-). It looks to me like a die flaw / chip which caused this. Nevertheless, its quite an interesting coin.

Harry, thanks for your comment and that is really worth to accept. But for further clarification I indicate the dot. It is on the kings neck. I hope that you mean that dot. And I am amazed as the dot is so fine and round shape. Just like Bombay mint mark or the dot beneath the king's neck in KGVI coins. Interesting.

It looks like the dot was the result of a small accident in the mint, maybe someone tripping with a tool in his hand or dropping a tool on a die.
