It is the rupee of 1911 that was withdrawn from circulation and became scarce as opposed to the other denominations. Report this Post to the Staff

I am having difficulty narrowing down the mintage figures for the original coins because it comes as a blanket number which includes re-strikes. During my searches last night I found one source that put the number of these coins minted as very low, far rarer than the Rupees. Report this Post to the Staff
