India's post-independence coinage required entirely new designs, and 1949 saw a flurry of pattern strikes as the government evaluated candidates before settling on the definitive series. The peacock displaying was among the motifs considered and rejected — the final 2 anna type that entered circulation carried a different reverse entirely. Patterns from this evaluation process were struck in very limited numbers, almost certainly for official approval purposes rather than any public distribution.
KM#Pn11 is one of several known pattern varieties from this single year of deliberation.
