Description

BRITISH INDIA: George V, 1910-1936, AR ¼ rupee, 1911 (c), KM-517, Prid-440, S&W 8.136, so-called "pig"-style elephant, one-year type, nice multicolored tone, PCGS graded MS63, R. On the coin, the King appeared wearing the chain of the Most Eminent Order of the Indian Empire. Because of poor engraving, the elephant looked very much like a pig. The Muslim population was enraged and the image had to be quickly redesigned.
