India (British) 1911 C Ag Rupee, NGC Graded MS 64, The PIG Rupee, so called due to the first batch of Rupees (Type I) being rejected by the Indians as the Elephant on the coat of the King resembled a Pig and thus was deemed unfit for circulation as the pig is seen as a dirty animal in the religion. Thus most of the series were melted down. Starting to tone nicely. NGC Certification: 2047801-002
