Quote from: 'Nightparrot' pid='63704' dateline='1418559623'Agree about the proclamation series, and that 8 reales is a lovely variation. Surely could have been used in Australia....

Yes, it would be nice to think it did circulate in the area or even in Australia. I did some research and apparently many fake counterstamps abound, but this one designated as S1c is possibly genuine as per link below.

Both of these coins are listed as;
India-Mysore Pagoda ND 1761-82 Uncirculated KM #15

The reverses are pretty similar but the Obverses (At least I think it is the obverse) are quite different.
They both came from the Mysore Mint but they are different , Can anyone shed some light on these for me?
Are they a different year or ruler ?

Here are the images on PP's website.
Tip,
You have to turn one of the images upside down to notice the difference :)

No worries trout, it's your coin so use the images. We have no coins left in our proclamation section on the website because you bought them all!!!!!!!!

I think they're very odd looking but look nicer than half the designs the mint is producing, but how do you find errors on them with so much rough surface..once I finish/if I ever finish my predecimal proof sets I might get a kabota ;) So how do you tell the obverse from the reverse? I really like the coin auto put above and really like the left hand pic for some reason unknown to me just yet but just know I like it, maybe it's just the pretty patterns :blush2:
A wise person knows there is something to learn from everyone.
