1 Anna – George VI | UNC

This 1 Anna coin was issued between 1943 and 1947 under British India during the reign of King George VI. Struck in copper-nickel with an approximate weight of 4.85 grams and a diameter of around 25.3 mm, it represents the later colonial coinage produced during the final years before Indian independence.

The obverse features the crowned bust of King George VI facing left, with the surrounding inscription “GEORGE VI KING EMPEROR” in Latin script, executed in a clean and formal engraving style.

The reverse typically displays the denomination “ONE ANNA INDIA” along with the year of issue, arranged in a simple yet balanced layout that reflects the utilitarian design approach of the period.

This coin holds historical importance as one of the last circulating issues of British India, making it an essential addition for collectors focusing on colonial-era coins, George VI series, or the transition period leading up to independence.
