IMPORTANT NOTE - The Buyer's Premium is now $20 per lot or 20% of the hammer price, whichever amount is greater. However, we have also reduced opening bids on lower value items to adjust for the new Buyer's Premium structure, so all-in costs are still very close to what they were in the past. This change in fee structure will allow us to continue to offer coins valued at less than $100 in addition to our higher value offerings. Contact us with any questions.
MAURITIUS: George IV, 1820-1830, AR 25 sous, ND (1822), KM-1, Cr-31, Lec-17, struck at the Calcutta Mint, AU. Although the legends and denominations are in French, these coins are actually British. Because of the agreement to which Mauritius was ceded to Britain, the coinage and language had to remain French. The 25 and 50 sous denominations allowed for them to easily translate into the British monetary system and the Spanish dollar, which was the main circulating currency alongside the rupee (2 rupees to 1 dollar).
