India – British ¼ Anna 1916 – George V Rare Coin #C-103

This exceptional ¼ Anna coin from 1916 represents a pivotal moment in British India’s numismatic history under King George V’s reign (1910-1936). Struck during the height of the British Raj, this standard circulation coin captures the colonial era’s monetary system, where the Anna represented 1/64th of a Rupee. The 1916 date marks a particularly significant year during World War I, making this piece both historically resonant and increasingly scarce in quality condition. Collectors prize George V Indian coins for their elegant design and historical significance, bridging British imperial heritage with Indian numismatic tradition. This rare specimen offers tangible connection to pre-independence India and remains highly sought after by serious collectors of British colonial coinage. Its numismatic value extends beyond face denomination, reflecting both historical importance and the natural scarcity of well-preserved examples from this era.
