From 1940 coins were struck in a quaternary alloy of 500 parts silver,
400 parts copper, 50 parts nickel and 50 parts zinc.
Initially, coins had a straight grained edge but 1939/1940 the so-called
security edge was introduced. However, a few specimens with later dates have
straight grained edges. It seems unlikely that the mint would have struck these
deliberately, and equally unlikely that they would make such a simple mistake.
The existence of these coins with straight grained edges remains a mystery.
They could, of course, be high grade forgeries, or perhaps secretly struck by a
mint employee with the intention of selling them to collectors. Another
possibility is that they were struck much later during the period of restriking
at the Bombay mint, and somehow escaped into circulation. Whatever the reason,
they are recorded here and left for the reader to determine how they might fit
into the series.
