  • Notes:
  • Jerome Remick in his eponymous catalogue noted the existence of two varieties of the Rupee i.e. where the letters in the obverse legend are 'straight-based' or have 'cursive' of 'seriffed' letters. This coin is the varity with 'straight-based' letters, flat surfaces and wire rims. It is interesting that Remick noted that "proof specimens are more common for the one rupee than they are for the other silver coins (of the series)" and this is certainly backed up by the population reports of PCGS & NGC where the rupees considered to be circulation strikes are less common in higher grades. There is some evidence to suggest that the 94,000 rupee coins struck for circulation will eventually be identified by the 'cursive' or 'seriffed' letters in the obverse legend while the 'proof' or 'specimen' coins will be singled out by their 'straight-based' letters.
