Hello,
NGC shows image of reverse to be
yet I came across image of coin claiming to be KM#309 that has different reverse:
Can anyone explain why there is a difference?
Thank you... Dan

I only know French language, and Huit is 8 and Quatre is 4, so maybe similar in Portuguese; then ...
I guess Oitavo means 1/8
and so Quarto means 1/4
So they are different coins - if NGC show the Oitavo as 1/8 then that is correct (if I am).
P.S. Apart from that, this page below says the 1/8 is only 1881 so not sure where 1918 comes in.
https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces24971.html
The 1/4 below is KM# 310 and only 1881 or rarely 1885 - so also not 1918 year.

So the second image you show is most likely 1881 date and 1/4 Rupia and KM# 310.

Thank you,
The '1918' was a typo, meant to be 1881. Your explanation is correct. The coin listed with the 'Quarto' on reverse was pulled from auction as having been listed incorrectly.
Again Thank you... Dan

I guess Oitavo means 1/8
and so Quarto means 1/4Dan is correct and so is our catalogue.

In Portuguese, Oitavo is 1/8 and Quarto is 1/4. Zac is absolutely right.
