Description

Struck between 1943 and 1945 under George VI, this ¼ Rupee represents the final phase of British Indian silver coinage. Composed of .500 silver, it weighs approximately 2.9 grams with a diameter of about 19 mm, reflecting wartime metal adjustments.

The obverse displays the crowned bust of George VI facing left, with the surrounding legend “GEORGE VI KING EMPEROR,” executed in a clean classical style.

The reverse shows the denomination within a central circle, surrounded by an ornate wreath composed of roses, thistle, shamrock, and lotus, symbolizing the unity of the British Empire and India.

This coin is valued for its historical context and elegant design. It is an essential addition for collectors of British India coinage and pre-independence silver issues.
