This is an exceptional piece of Indian numismatic history—a 1/4 Rupee silver coin from the reign of King George VI, minted in 1940 at the prestigious Bombay Mint (now Mumbai). Composed of 50% silver and weighing 2.88 grams, this coin features the Mature Head II portrait of the British monarch, a design variation that numismatists particularly prize.

The coin’s Very Fine condition reflects its age while maintaining excellent detail and legibility, making it an ideal addition to any serious collection. Its classification as scarce underscores its rarity in the marketplace. The Bombay Mint attribution adds geographical and historical significance, as it was one of India’s most important minting facilities during this era.

Collectors value George VI coins from this period for their representation of India’s transition during World War II and the final years of British colonial rule. The 1940 date, combined with the Mature Head II variety, makes this particular specimen historically and monetarily significant. The KM547 catalog reference confirms its authenticity and provenance.

Whether you’re a dedicated numismatist, Indian history enthusiast, or serious investor in rare coins, this silver quarter rupee offers both tangible monetary value and the enduring appeal of a historically significant artifact.
