Dang, Siberian Man, you really have nice coins!!

 

What exactly is a "pig" rupee?

 

Here are two I can contribute. By the way, Siberian Man, I think you made a typo at the beginning: a rupee is 16 Annas.

Here is an East India Company Victorian rupee from 1840.

 

and here's one of my favorites, just because it's so off-the-wall, a hammered rupee from the Nawab of Awadh (or Oudh) from 1847.

 

Here are a few of my 2,000 year old Indians (Kushans), Sotor Negus, etc... -

 

Another day, another rupee!

 

I had a large collection of Indian coinage a few years back - sadly all that is left now are pictures, but here are some of them for your interest.



1920 8 Anna - seems to be a lot scarcer than the books suggest
1945 Half Rupee with the large 5 in the date - much sought after!
1835 East India Company One Rupee with portrait of William IV
1876 Victoria Rupee
1910 Edward VII Rupee

 

These are about all I have left now - a few copper odds that I never really got round to identifying properly. If you know more, please let me know, and if you are interested in them, better still!

 

The only two that I have images of at present, both EIC from 1835....

EIC Half Anna



EIC Quarter Anna
