Checklist of Rupees (1874-1901)

The following is my best attempt to provide a complete list of the Rupees of Victoria 1874-1901. The 1862 Rupees are listed separately on the Dot Varieties (1862) page. 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 1883 a "dot" mint mark was use, while after 1883 a "B" incuse or "B" raised was used instead. During the 1883 transitional year you find both. Also, Rev. Type IV (called "Rosette variety" by Krause) is called type "IV" and apparently exists for 1879-1882 Rupees). "If you have corrections or additions please notify me Contact Webmaster
