I had purchased a lot of 50 Silver Rupee Coins of Queen Victoria 1862 @ Rs. 200 each, sometime 7-8 years ago. All these coins were lying in a bag unopened till now.

Recently, I began to check these coins, and I have found many different varieties among these coins. Although most of the coins are in fairly worn out condition, some of them are in really good condition.

One such coin is shown here. Although I don't collect and know much about different Obverse and Reverse Types, I think, this is A/I/0/0 type. Kindly confirm.

your A and my A are not the same.  i had my own order for these and there were 8 or 9 obverse types and 8 or 9 reverse types in different combinations.  This ABC really does disservice to the 1862 coins and at least during my time no one i knew used them but i guess times have changed.
