INDIA. British India. Silver Original Proof/Pattern Rupee, 1901, prepared by F K Wezel, the chief engraver at the Calcutta Mint, obv EDUARDUS VII REX ET IMPERATOR (SW 7.1; Pr 1045). In PCGS holder, graded P63, moderately toned, beautiful and rather conservatively graded
The two Patterns that F K Wezel produced were quite beautiful in themselves but may not have been sturdy enough to stand up to the rigours of circulation. The mintages for Edward would demand a great number of dies. Pridmore is very informative on these two patterns, a great deal of back and forth correspondence went into the agreement for the production of the Edward VII series of coins. Also unusual, is that Latin was used for the obverse inscription EDWARDUS VII REX ET IMPERATOR

In NGC holder, graded PF63, moderately toned.
Pridmore states that an example of this coin exists in tin. It is possible that he was actually referring to this coin, as he has no silver piece listed. Silver really would not have been a practical metal for this issue as the obverse is almost identical to the ¼-Rupee
