Comment
- Elephant on King's robe resembles a pig - Type I obverseInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the 1911 George V ¼ Rupee coin from India is that it was minted during a time of great change in India's monetary system. The coin was introduced as part of a new decimal system that replaced the old system of annas and paise. This change was implemented to make currency easier to understand and use for the general public. The ¼ Rupee coin was an important denomination in this new system, as it was equivalent to 2 annas and 4 paisa, making it a convenient coin for everyday transactions.
