The King is shown wearing a robe with a small elephant on it. This elephant was
thought to resemble a pig with the trunk appearing to be a pig snout and the
short legs not appearing very elephant-like.

This offended the religious sensibilities of many, so most of the Rupees minted
for 1911 were withheld from circulation and later melted. From 1912 onwards, the
coins had a redesigned elephant.
