The coins were two of a total of six pairs of pattern Rupee prepared in 1947 prior to the commencement of coinage for the newly independent Dominion of Pakistan. Neither of the designs was adopted and when Sinclair-Jones (Mint Master at Lahore) left Pakistan during the turmoil of the 1947-1948 riots, the four sets were lost and their present whereabouts are unknown.
Pattern #1
Pattern #2
A nickel pattern Rupee dated 1947 as per the adopted
design of 1948 exists. It is possibly the only known specimen.
