Bombay Presidency, gold ¼ Mohur, in the name of Shah Alam II, pseudo- mintname Surat mint, privy mark 'star and crown’ on obverse, not listed in Stevens, 2.91g.

Very fine, Rare.

Stevens does not list a quarter mohur denomination for this type, but it must be said that the overall execution of the coin is quite different from normal issues of the series and the dies employed also seem to be different. We cannot say if this is an intentional deviation, or if indeed the coin was struck for another reason such as making jewellery.
