NOTE: Different National Emblem Types in KM#49.x mintages

Type 2: Asoka lion pedestal more imposing. Side lions with 3 or 4 fur rows, more elegant D in INDIA. The shape of the D in INDIA is the easiest way to distinguish this obverse.
TYPE 3: Similar to Type I but 2 teeth, 4 to 5 fur rows, smaller lion head.
NOTE: redesigns of types exist, several varieties. 1984-86 issues of KM#49.1 have edge varieties = rounded (local blanks) or flat (Korean blanks)
