Nothing like getting a square for Christmas.
Its even better if that square is foreign.
Please friends, say hello to the Indian Square!!!
20 Grams Queen Victoria Square Shaped 999 Silver Coin
This is another coin in which finding the specifications was incredibly hard, but I was determined and after plenty interrogations of Bard AI, I managed to get it.
The 20 Grams Queen Victoria Square Shaped 999 Silver Coin is a bit different from other rare coins. Despite it's obvious difference in shape, it was actually a legal tender once.
Just like the American Penny now...
India used this coin in the late 18th century and it was made in the Bombay Mint.
The coin was issued between the years of 1862 till 1896 during the reign of Queen Victoria.
With a length and breath of 3.8 cm, the coin is quite a beauty.
The square shape coin has almost become extinct and are now fetching at a high price of $50 to a whooping $200, of course the prices are heavenly dependant on how well kept the particular coin is kept.
In India, these coins are fabulous gifts and heirlooms due to their uniqueness in the world of coins (the squareness), it's part of their cultural heritage and well it's a real pretty thing.
The silver wishlist initiative was brought on by @silverd510 which is to simply write 12 consecutive posts on different coins one would want for Christmas.
- Images of the front and rear view of the coin was gotten from here
