A 1911(B) Indian Rupee, known colloquially as the "Pig" Rupee, notable for the small elephant motif on the monarch’s robe that some interpreted as resembling a pig. This historic coin is an interesting piece from British India with a well-documented backstory and strong appeal to collectors.
Obverse: The obverse features the crowned bust of the reigning monarch wearing a robe that includes a small elephant motif which led to the coin’s informal nickname.
