BENGAL PRESIDENCY: AV mohur (10.87g), Muhammadabad Benares, AH1209 year 37, Stv-7.22. Prid-217. KM-31, Daroga mark D, never mounted, XF-AU, RR, ex Paul Stevens Collection. Pridmore knew only of regnal years 37 and 41 for the Benares mohur. Nearly all of the earlier dated pieces (years 26 to 32) came from a hoard allegedly found in the 1980s at some unknown location. All were gently mounted to form a large neckless, probably for an elephant. The hoard may have been found later, as nearly all the dates and variants were not known to KM before about 2004.
