Beautiful Set from my personal collection, NFS

INDIA. British India. Copper Pattern/Die Trials ¼-Rupee 1884B, off-metal strikes in copper, obv VICTORIA EMPRESS (SW 6.278,). All in NGC holders, graded MS64BN respectively, all with a touch of mint red.

This is the year that the Mint seems to have started striking some of its coins in copper. Whether to test the dies or as inexpensive examples to be given out it may never be known. The copper pieces disappear by 1892, but by then they have become a very serious issue struck to proof standards.
