This exceptional Bronze 1/12 Anna coin from 1909 represents a fascinating piece of British Indian numismatic history. Minted in Calcutta during the reign of King Edward VII, this fractional denomination coin features an elegant portrait of the monarch in profile on the obverse, with the date and denomination clearly marked on the reverse. Weighing just 1.54 grams and measuring 16.03mm in diameter, this diminutive treasure showcases the intricate craftsmanship of early 20th-century Indian minting.

The 1/12 Anna denomination makes this piece particularly scarce among collectors, as fractional coins were produced in limited quantities and have become increasingly difficult to locate in quality condition. Graded in Very Fine condition, this specimen displays excellent preservation with minimal wear, making it a standout addition to any British India or world coin collection. The Calcutta Mint mark adds geographical significance, as it was one of the principal minting facilities during the colonial period.

Ideal for collectors interested in British Imperial coinage, Indian numismatic history, or those seeking rare fractional denominations, this coin offers both historical appeal and investment potential. Its scarcity, combined with its well-preserved state, makes it a worthwhile acquisition for serious enthusiasts.
