BRITISH INDIA: George V, 1910-1936, AR ¼ rupee, 1911(c), KM-517, so-called "pig"-style elephant, one-year type, a superb quality example! NGC graded MS65+, 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.

Estimate: 2,000-3,000 USD
