Ⰶ COWRIE SHELLS SUBSTITUTION: EAST INDIA COMPANY ★ 1/2 PICE 1853 UNCOMMON! IN HOLDER!

Interesting type of Victoria (1837-1901) in nice condition struck in Calcutta. Bengal was suffered of lack of small change as the result population returned to use cowrie shells for small purchases. To stop this practice the 1/2 pice coin was stuck during many years with aim to displace shells from circulation. Uncommon nowadays. This coin is packed in auto-adhesive holder, which preserves it in the best way.
