BRITISH INDIA: George V, 1910-1936, AR ½ rupee, 1911 (c), KM-521, Prid-318, S&W 8.61, nice natural toning, one-year type, a fine example of this true rarity! PCGS graded MS64, RR. 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. Most of these were melted.

Estimate: 7,000-9,000 USD
