This is an exceptionally rare 1 Pice copper coin issued by the Princely State of Tonk during the reign of George V in 1932. Minted under British India’s influence, this piece represents a fascinating chapter in Indian numismatic history when the diverse princely states maintained their own coinage systems. The coin features precise milled edges and medal alignment, crafted from copper with a weight of 4.8 grams and diameter of 21 millimeters.

What makes this coin particularly desirable to collectors is its historical significance and scarcity. Tonk’s limited coinage output during this period makes specimens like this genuinely hard to find in the modern market. The coin documents a unique era when Indian princely rulers exercised monetary autonomy before consolidation into the modern Indian nation. As a demonetized currency, it holds no face value today, making its worth purely historical and collectible.

This is an outstanding addition for serious numismatists specializing in Indian princely states, British colonial-era coinage, or George V currency. Its authentic copper composition, distinctive provincial origin, and age make it a tangible piece of 20th-century Indian history that continues to appreciate in collector circles.
