amitvyas03 New Member 41 Posts	Posted 11/09/2008 01:17 am Here is an interesting tale... On the 1911 issues of the Indian Rupee, Half Rupee, Quarter Rupee, Two Anna, and Quarter Anna, Emperor George V was shown wearing the chain of the Order of the Indian Empire. Through poor engraving, the elephant looked very much like a pig (with its trunk resembling a pig's snout). This offended the religious views of many in India. As a result, most of the infamous 'pig' Rupees were withheld from circulation and melted. Coins issued in the subsequent years had a redesigned elephant.

Sap Moderator Australia 16868 Posts	Posted 11/09/2008 01:52 am You've been pretty thorough, latman, but I've found a couple more to add to your list: British Guiana & West Indies - 4 pence 1911-1916 British Guiana - 4 pence 1917-1936 Both are listed under "Guyana" in Krause. By the way, it's "nickel", not "nickle". Don't let those American spellings get to you! Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
latman100 Pillar of the Community Australia 1040 Posts	Posted 11/09/2008 02:02 am Thank you Sap for the extras, and for the spelling mistake And to amitvyas03 for the rupee info. I knew of the type 1 and type 2 obverse, but had forgotten, cheers. Report this Post to the Staff
