Additional information

Jammu and Kashmir has never issued its own coinage — it has been an administrative division of India since 1949, with no monetary authority of its own. This piece is a modern fantasy strike with no historical basis, produced for the novelty and collector market. The "Pig" designation refers to the Chinese zodiac attribution, a framing device commonly used by private mints to generate annual series revenue.
