1 Rupee - Edward VII Pattern

Pattern rupees in gold were struck at Calcutta or Bombay as presentation and approval pieces, not for circulation — the working rupee remained silver throughout Edward VII's reign. The 1910 date places this at the very end of his tenure; Edward died in May of that year, meaning any approval process for a new type would have been overtaken by the accession of George V almost immediately.

Prid#1050 and SW 7.13 both confirm extreme rarity. Surviving examples are almost certainly ex-government or ex-cabinet collections.
