World and Islamic Coins

Mombasa, Imperial British East Africa Co, Rupee, 1888h, Half-Rupee and Quarter-Rupee, both 1890h (KM. 3-5) [3]. Virtually as struck, attractive matching olive-grey tone £300-400

Half-Rupee only illustrated. Slabbed in NGC holders, graded SP 64, *SP 65 and SP 64 respectively. In the opinion of the cataloguer these coins are not from the group of so-called Specimen Mombasa issues released to the market from the Birmingham Mint holdings in 1975
