<p>[QUOTE=&quot;spiraltreet, post: 181026, member: 3476&quot;]The George V&nbsp; Rupee coins were started to issue in 1911. But the elephant on the bust of the King had the appearance of a pig.&nbsp; &nbsp; This hurt the religious sentiments of the Muslims. Pigs are considered &#039;haraam&#039;, means &#039;something to be avoided&#039;,&nbsp; by the Holy books of Muslims. Hence, these coins were withdrawn and new coins were issued from 1912 onwards.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Recently I saw a William IV Rupee minted in 1839, with a dealer. The coin seemed original. Is there anyone who can confirm the minting of such a coin? Or is there any catalogue which contains this coin? The Krause catalogue does not have this coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
