This exceptional bronze 1/12 Anna coin represents a fascinating piece of British Indian numismatic history, minted in 1929 during the reign of King George V at the prestigious Calcutta (Kolkata) Mint. The coin features an elegant left-facing profile bust of the monarch on the obverse, while the reverse displays the denomination and date in clear detail.

Graded in Extremely Fine condition, this scarce date specimen showcases remarkable preservation with minimal wear, making it a standout addition to any serious collector’s portfolio. Weighing just 1.60 grams and measuring 17.50mm in diameter, this diminutive treasure carries significant historical weight as part of the pre-independence Indian currency system.

The 1929 date makes this particularly desirable among numismatists, as coins from this period represent the twilight years of the British Raj. Its KM# 509 designation confirms authenticity and cataloging by the Krause-Mishler standard reference. The Calcutta Mint origin adds geographical and historical importance, as it was one of India’s primary minting facilities.

This collectible appeals to both Indian numismatic enthusiasts and international coin collectors seeking authentic artifacts from this transformative era in Indian history. Its scarcity, combined with excellent condition and historical significance, positions it as a worthwhile investment piece.
