BRITISH INDIA: George V, 1910-1936, AR ½ rupee, 1911(c), KM-518, S&W-8.62, proof restrike issue, with the so-called "pig"-style elephant, NGC graded Proof 62, ex David Fore Collection. 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: 10,000-12,000 USD
