1940年印度巴哈瓦尔布尔1/2 皮斯。巴哈瓦尔普尔铸币厂。 此枚Bahawalpur 王朝的发行，仅用罕见亦不足以代表其珍稀度。曾作為 David Fore集藏的一员，此枚是NGC认证為精製币的两枚中的其中一枚，PCGS更是从未有任何此版的精製币认证。另一枚的评分是Proof-45，此枚65，品相远超另一枚。铸打出眾，贯彻精製币的水準，浓郁的红光，无经手痕跡，可见此前的藏家均适心保存。底板可见明显的抛光痕跡，印证了此枚特别的铸工。千载难逢，藏家不容错过。 INDIA. Bahawalpur. 1/2 Pice, AH 1359 (1940). Bahawalpur Mint. Sadiq Muhammad Khan V (under George VI as Emperor). NGC PROOF-65 Red. KM-Y-12. RARE , is perhaps an understatement to describe the paucity of proof issues from Bahawalpur from the princely period. This example, previously residing in the David Fore collection, is one of only two examples certified as proof by NGC with none from PCGS. This specimen far exceeds the other, an impaired Proof-45. A stunner that is exceptionally well-struck, with rich mint Red and no evidence of handling, implying the excellent treatment of this specimen by previous owners. Pronounced die polishing is noticed in the fields, confirming the special striking nature of the piece. Sure to be desirable, as it will likely be some time until another proof example of the type comes to market. From the Yashoda N. Singh Collection. Ex: David Fore Collection (Baldwin s - 9/2013) Lot # 1234.
