Lahore, India (British), silver original proof 1/2 rupee, George VI, 1943-L, very rare, PCGS PR65, finest and only example in PCGS census. SW-9.60; KM-552. Very lightly rainbow toned over luster, virtually no marks or wear, first date of the type and only the third and finest specimen known (the other two graded PF 61 and PF 63 by NGC). The all-important mintmark L is very small and appears on the middle head of each of two sets of three thistles at about 5 and 7 o'clock on the reverse, the mintmark on the right showing backwards. Lahore is in modern-day Pakistan, which became an independent country in 1947 upon partition of British India. With original His Majesty's Mint paper envelope. PCGS # 39687057.
