1740-1807 Gold Pagoda MS63

A fascinating 18th-century Indian Gold Pagoda, dating to approximately 1740–1807 and catalogued as Friedberg (Fr.) 1578.

The gold Pagoda was an important high-value denomination used throughout southern India, with examples from this period representing a particularly interesting chapter in the region's monetary and trading history. Compact in size yet struck in gold, Pagodas were extensively used in commerce and today are highly collectable pieces of early Indian numismatic history.

This example displays the distinctive traditional iconography associated with the type, giving the coin considerable character and historical appeal. Its hand-struck manufacture is typical of coinage from the period, meaning individual examples can display considerable variation in strike, centring and design detail.

Beyond its intrinsic precious-metal value, this Gold Pagoda offers a tangible connection to the complex trading networks, kingdoms and changing political landscape of southern India during the 18th century.

An appealing acquisition for collectors of historic Indian coinage, early world gold and specialist numismatics, particularly those seeking recognised Friedberg-attributed pieces.
