BRITISH INDIA: George V, 1910-1936, AR 2 annas, 1911(c), KM-514, so-called "pig"-style elephant, one-year type, with lovely obverse toning, NGC graded MS62. On the coin, the king appears 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: 200-300 USD
