British-India 1912-1936 Rupee Type II Obverse Brockage Error VF
A brockage error coin is a type of mint error that occurs when a coin is struck with one side pressed against an already struck coin die. This causes the design to appear incused (sunken) on one side of the coin, and raised on the other side.
The George V portrait by Bertram Mackennal on Indian Rupee coins replaced the Most Noble Order of the Garter collar with the Order of the Indian Empire. This design modification caused controversy when Muslims mistook the elephant on the collar for a pig, resulting in the redesign of the Pig Rupee in 1911.
