This exceptional 1/2 Pice copper coin from 1906 represents a fascinating piece of British Indian numismatic history. Minted in Calcutta during the reign of King Edward VII, this bronze specimen weighs 3.28 grams and showcases the monarch’s distinguished profile facing right, complemented by period-appropriate inscriptions and denomination markings on the reverse.

Graded in Very Fine condition, this rare coin reflects the craftsmanship of early 20th-century Indian mint operations. The 1/2 Pice denomination was a crucial component of the pre-decimal Indian currency system, making coins from this era increasingly scarce as they’ve been removed from circulation over decades.

Collectors prize Edward VII-era coinage for its historical significance, marking the transition period of British Imperial India. The Calcutta Mint provenance adds authenticity and regional importance to this piece. Its rarity, combined with excellent preservation despite being a circulated coin, makes it an attractive acquisition for serious numismatists and history enthusiasts seeking tangible artifacts from the Edwardian period. This coin serves as both an investment-grade collectible and a window into India’s colonial monetary heritage.
