My packet arrived on Friday or Saturday, I believe, with my two twenty cent coins and the lovely note as well.  That note still makes my jaw hit the floor, it's so beautiful.  I owe you more than thanks, latman!

Miss Kitty, you have just made me a very happy man. I was starting to get worried it wasn't going to make it. Glad you like them.

Sean, thanks again--the 1913 Rupee is very nice. 

[latman]

Glad you like it Kurt 

I love these coins. The George V crowned portrait is one of my favourite obverses, and I love the contrasting asian feel of the reverse.
In case you are unaware, you determine the mint for these by the space under the lotus flower at the bottom. A bead means it is from the Bombay mint, as this one is. If there is none, it is from Calcutta.

I remember it as beady Bombay and clear Calcutta.

beady Bombay and clear Calcutta

I'll remember that!   

This coin is also a good reminder of that obverse design variety for the 1916 1/2d 
--such an optimist.
