Checklist of Quarter Rupees (1862-1901)

The following is my best attempt to provide a complete list of the Quarter Rupees of Victoria 1862-1899. In general, the list provided in Standard Catalog of World Coins (Krause) is excellent. My list contains a few minor differences based on my personal experiences. Also, proofs are not listed below. Note that up to 1884 a "dot" mint mark was used, while a "B" raised was used from 1885 to 1888 and a "B" incuse was used 1888 to 1898. During the 1888 transitional year you find both "B" raised and "B" incuse mint marks. If you have corrections or additions please notify me: Contact Webmaster
