Context
- Struck during the first year of production for the crowned head Victoria type and the first instance of gold off-metal strikes in British India. The reason for the existence of this type is not entirely known, but several reasons can be hypothesized. Whatever the actual reason, we know today that 1862-dated gold strikings are incredibly rare. - Calcutta mint
