Lot 401:
Pakistan, 1 Rupee, 2003, Copper/Bronze Coin with Drilled Hole
Not sold
Description
A single copper or bronze coin, identified by its legends as a 1 Rupee from Pakistan, dated 2003. The obverse features a right-facing male bust wearing a headdress. Arabic script surrounds the portrait, with “ملك” (King) visible on the left and “باكستان” (Pakistan) on the right. The date “2003” is clearly visible in Western numerals below the bust. The reverse displays a prominent architectural building, likely a mosque or historical structure. Below the building, the denomination “1” and the Arabic word “روپیہ” (Rupee) are inscribed. No mint marks, signatures, or serial numbers are discernible. Despite extensive web research, a specific catalog attribution (e.g., Krause KM#) for this particular design and date combination could not be definitively established, suggesting it may be a non-standard issue, fantasy piece, or a less common variety.
