| Aanvullende informatie |
The KM#476 five-rupee gold piece belongs to a short-lived series that the Calcutta Mint produced in limited quantities during the late 1860s and early 1870s — small-denomination gold coins that never found much practical traction in a subcontinent where the silver rupee dominated everyday commerce. The British Indian monetary system leaned heavily on silver, and gold coinage circulated mainly among merchants and in formal transactions rather than in ordinary hands.
Survivors in collectible condition are scarcer than mintage records alone suggest, as many were melted when gold values shifted.
