Update on the 1918 silver RUPEE coin for those who may be interested

[Lorrain.]

Decided to clean and shine this coin that I found last week.

I contacted a coin collector in India who replied that the coin is 92% silver.

Here's a couple of pics;

If you look closely at the reverse, you will see India flowers on top and bottom, and on either side you will see 3 flowers: a rose, a shamrock, and a thistle.

thanks for looking

I just had a feeling that if you decided to shine it up
Lorraine, it would turn out beautifully.....and it did.
Well done. Gold Nuggets

Make sure this value is up to date with silver price! A silver coin for $30 a year or two ago is easily a $60-$75 coin today.
