Edward VII, Silver, Rupee, 1903, Bombay Mint, 'B' incused and Dot. GK 926. NGC Slabbed AU 58.Scarce.

Edward VII Silver Rupee 1903, Bombay Mint (“B” incused and Dot variety) (GK 926) is a British India imperial coin struck in .917 fine silver during the early Edwardian period, when the rupee remained the primary circulating currency across the Indian subcontinent under British administration. The obverse features the crowned and draped bust of King Edward VII with imperial inscriptions, while the reverse displays the denomination “One Rupee” within a floral wreath along with the date and Bombay Mint mark.

This issue is identified by the distinctive “B” incused variety along with the Dot characteristic, both of which are die and minting diagnostics used by collectors to classify subtypes within the Edward VII rupee series. Such varieties reflect subtle differences in punch application and die preparation at the Bombay Mint, making them relevant in specialized numismatic study of British India silver coinage.

The example graded NGC AU58 is an About Uncirculated specimen with only slight wear on the highest points and strong retained mint luster, placing it just below Mint State condition. Its “Scarce” designation reflects moderate availability overall, with better-preserved and clearly attributed varieties being more desirable in advanced collections of Edward VII rupees.
