This inaugural rupee of George V shows the king wearing the Order of the Elephant. This animal was interpreted as a pig, to the outrage of sensitive Hindus and Muslims. As a result, about 95% were melted and struck into 1912's and 1913's. This specimen was lot 1126 in Sedwick sale 25 (Winter Park, FL, May 2019), where it sold for $190.40. The catalog description[1] noted, "Calcutta, India (British), 1 rupee, George V, 1911(C), NGC MS 63. Nice luster and choice strike, a few bagmarks in obverse fields, no toning, popular one-year type famously known as a 'pig rupee.' NGC #4725070-003."
Recorded mintage: 4,300,000 + 5,143,000 from Bombay; proofs exist.
