Unusual Rupee of George V in 1915
George Frederick Ernest Albert was King of the United Kingdom and the British Dominions and Emperor of India from 1910 until his death on 1936. He was familiar as George V. He was born during the reign of his grandmother Queen Victoria. He was the second son of Albert Edward, Prince of Wales. During the period of George V; silver Rupee was minted from 1911 to 1922. Rupee was minted in both Calcutta and Bombay from 1911 to 1920 and only Bombay on 1921 and 1922. Edge was milled with an average weight of 11.6g. Dimensions varies from 30.5mm to 30.8mm. A raised dot was below the bottom flower in Bombay mint but there was no dot in Calcutta mint Rupee. But I found an unusual copper Rupee of 1915 with a dimension around 30.8mm and weight was 11.02g. It has a dot below the bottom flower like Bombay mint Rupee of 1915. Obverse and edge are almost same but lettering of year in reverse was different from Bombay or Calcutta mint Rupee. Seems like year was double struck or die adjustment. Also...
