| Additional information |
India's post-independence coinage required entirely new designs, and 1949 saw a concentrated burst of pattern striking as the government worked through competing proposals before settling on the definitive Lion Capital types. This piece — with its starred and detailed treatment — was one of several 2 Annas pattern variants tested that year, none of which entered circulation. The Calcutta and Bombay mints both participated in pattern production during this period, though attribution of specific patterns to individual facilities remains inconsistent in the literature.
KM#Pn-10 is one of the scarcer documented proposals from this transitional phase.
