1840, King William IIII, Mule&nbsp;Silver Rupee, Calcutta and Bombay Mint, F raised, 19 berries (10L+9R), obverse of William period and Reverse of Queen period, die rotation around 10’ o clock, (PR # 39/SW # 1.49a), Ex- Puddester, graded &amp; slabbed by PCGS as VF 25, Exceedingly Rare.<o:p></o:p>

Note:&nbsp;Top-pop, highest Graded known coin for the Type, although all official Silver Rupees issued under&nbsp;King William IIII&nbsp;bear the date&nbsp;1835, a small number of Rupees Exist with the date&nbsp;1840, despite the King having passed away on&nbsp;20 June 1837. This unusual occurrence likely stems from a transitional phase in coinage design. It appears that there was an early intention to continue using&nbsp;William IIII’s Reverse Design&nbsp;even for the new series under&nbsp;Queen Victoria. As part of this plan, The Royal Mint may have created a Revised Reverse Die, derived from the 1835&nbsp;reverse, with the date changed to 1840.<o:p></o:p>This was likely prepared along with a new obverse die featuring&nbsp;Queen Victoria’s effigy, and both were then sent to the Indian mints.<o:p></o:p>However, it seems that once the dies reached India, there were concerns about the new obverse design’s suitability. As a result, mint authorities were instructed not to proceed with striking coins using the Queen’s Portrait until further notice. In the meantime, possibly due to a&nbsp;shortage of rupee coins in circulation, Indian mint officials may have decided to use the newly received&nbsp;1840-dated reverse die&nbsp;with&nbsp;leftover obverse dies&nbsp;of&nbsp;William IIII&nbsp;from&nbsp;the 1835 coinage, resulting in this RARE and historically significant Hybrid issue.<o:p></o:p>An interesting coin representing a transitional anomaly in British Indian coinage.<o:p></o:p>
