Comment
Thought to be a pattern and not a restrike due to metal composition not being known to be used in restrikes.
Interesting fact
The Pattern ¼ Anna - Edward VII (Aluminium OMS Pattern) 1908 from India - British (British India) made of Aluminium is a rare and unique coin that was never officially released into circulation. It was created as a pattern coin, which means it was produced as a trial or sample coin to test the design and production process, and only a limited number of coins were minted. As a result, it is highly sought after by collectors and can fetch a high price at auction.
