India - Republic - Anna - 1 - 1925
I bought this coin from Sapna Book Store , Bangalore. This coin was pasted to a board with information.
I must confess I bought this coin when I was just a novice (well I am still a novice but just knows to buy coins in good form not a pasted one). This one is intended for school-students to teach our rich history.
From my understanding (of various websites) this is not such a rare coin. It can be easily procured for Rs.50 from even ebay website.
It is very good for us to educate our new generation of such coins minted in past, particularly the British Indian coins. This will make learning of history very easy, and make our future generation understand the importance of our history.
This particular coin was minted in Mumbai mint (as it does not have a mint mark), the same coin was also minted from Calcutta (dot mark below the year).
The coin contains observe with portrait of George V King Emperor who was King of the United Kingdom and the British Dominions, and Emperor of India, from 6 May 1910 through the First World War (1914–1918) until his death in 1936.
