Description
This exceptional ¼ Anna coin from British India (1916) features King George V during his reign from 1910-1936. Minted during a pivotal era of colonial history, this rare date specimen represents a fascinating piece of numismatic heritage. The coin's modest denomination of ¼ Anna (1/64 of a Rupee) belies its collectible significance—the 1916 date is notably scarce compared to other years in the George V series. Crafted in period-appropriate composition, this standard circulation coin has survived over a century with remarkable character. Collectors prize British India coinage for its historical importance and limited survival rates, particularly specific dates like 1916. This piece makes an excellent addition to Commonwealth collections or those focusing on pre-independence Indian currency. Whether you're building a specialized George V collection or seeking authentic colonial-era artifacts, this rare date offers both historical intrigue and investment potential for serious numismatists.
