The first specimen was lot 1429 in Ponterio sale 173 (New York, January 2013), where it sold for $1,116. The catalog description[1] noted, "INDIA. Rupee Restrike, 1945. NGC PL-63. Security edge.

A few presentation pieces were made 1935-36 but production for circulation did not resume until 1938. This type, with fineness lowered to .500 fine, was issued 1939-45. The bust was modified to a lower relief in 1942.
