    RARE BRITISH EAST INDIA CO
    1840 VICTORIA "INDIAN HEAD" TYPE I - 35 BERRIES - CALCUTTA MINT - ENGRAVER -KASHINATH DASS - 0.917 SILVER RUPEE HACKER
    Weight: 11.60 gr, Diam: 31.4 mm
    Unique portrait. Sophisticated facial expression: delicate nose, open lips, chin, neck, only featured on the "Indian Head" Type I.
    The portrait known as "Indian Head" accomplished by native Master Engraver Kashinath Dass can be recognized by the delicate nose, very fine lips, gap between lips, slender neck: features unique in Indian physiognomy.
    The portrait has no resemblance to the young English Queen.
    Kashinath Dass was commissioned to create this rare die (Type I) portraying a classical Indian look in order to merge the image of the foreign young English Queen into the Indian Psyche.
    The purpose of a coin is to circulate massible. In this case, this coin had a double purpose: as money and as a mass mind hacker. It is also a mood changer charm if looked at. i like to share it with you.
