This is an exceptional Bronze 1 Pice coin from the reign of King George VI, minted in 1945 at the prestigious Calcutta Mint (now Kolkata). The coin features the distinctive Flat Crown Type design, characteristic of the final years of British India’s coinage. The obverse displays the denomination and date, while the reverse showcases an elegant garland motif—a hallmark of George VI’s Indian currency series.

Weighing 1.22 grams with a diameter of 21.40mm, this coin is graded in Extremely Fine condition, indicating well-preserved details with minimal wear. The 1945 date makes this a significant piece from the twilight of the British Raj, just two years before Indian independence. Collectors prize George VI bronzes for their historical significance and artistic merit, as they represent a pivotal era in numismatic history. This particular example from Calcutta Mint is highly sought after by Indian numismatists and British colonial coin enthusiasts alike.

The coin’s excellent condition, combined with its historical importance and the specific Flat Crown Type variety, makes it a valuable addition to any serious collection. It serves as both a tangible connection to pre-independence India and a sound investment piece for numismatic collectors.
