| Additional information |
The "mule" designation here indicates a coin struck from mismatched dies — in this case, dies not originally intended to be paired together. Pattern mules of this kind typically emerged from Calcutta or Bombay mint trials as technicians tested new die pairings ahead of authorized production runs, and most never progressed beyond a handful of struck examples. By 1937, the rupee's composition and design were already being reconsidered in anticipation of post-war monetary reform, making this an experimental artifact of a currency system on borrowed time.
