SIKH EMPIRE: AE dam (12.58g), Kashmir, VS1876, KM-�, Herrli-�, full clear mint & date, unpublished and probably unique, About VF, RRRR.
VS1876 was the first year of Sikh coinage at Kashmir (= AD1819/1820), well known for the moderately rare silver rupees of that year, but unreported for copper. The reverse legend is extremely clear, zarb-i kashmir 1876, and the upper part of the obverse legend, gobind singh is also very clear, but the lower obverse legend remained undeciphered, as it is mostly off flan.
