† COINS, ASIAN TERRITORIES, SUMATRA, PATTERNS AND BOULTON SAMPLES East India Company, Copper Pattern 2-Kepings, Error AH date, AH1200 / 1787, edge crudely grained (Pr 28; KM Pn4; Scho 959 var). Extremely fine but not struck to proof quality, numerous light verdigris spots, especially on the obverse, and a few handling marks over all, a fascinating piece of EIC and Boulton mint history. It is difficult to tell the size of the date from the photo in the Pridmore catalogue, but this piece appears to have a larger 8 and 7. Also, on the reverse, the Arabic 0s of the date AH1200 are larger, so we will go with this being Pr 28, not that it matters for value. £1000-1500
