1840 Victoria Queen Silver ¼ Rupee – PCGS MS 63

This elegant Silver ¼ Rupee, struck in 1840 at the Calcutta Mint during the reign of Queen Victoria, represents one of the earliest and most sought-after issues of British India. It is the desirable Continuous Legend variety with no initial, featuring the rare 34-berry wreath (19 left + 15 right) and the C/II/Crescent mint designation, catalogued as PR #103 / GK #126. Professionally graded and slabbed by PCGS as MS 63, the coin displays exceptional mint lustre, crisp strike details, and attractive original surfaces, reflecting its premium uncirculated condition. Scarce in such a high state of preservation, this certified specimen is a prized acquisition for collectors of British India, early Victoria coinage, and high-grade world silver coins.
