Comment
Originals were (likely) made in Calcutta with other similar Patterns. What sets this pattern apart is that the name and title of the King is in Latin (and F:D is absent, but there is another version of the pattern with F:D).
Restrikes may exist.
Interesting fact
The Pattern 1 Rupee (1834 Latin Pattern) is a rare and unique coin that was never circulated, making it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
