Pice
This is one of the coins which were issued by Government of India after 1950 when India became Republic. This coin was minted during 1950-1955.
It should be noted that the coin was introduced when Indian Coinage was not decimal in nature. 64 Pice constituted 1 Rupee. The Pice was equal to 1/4 Anna which was in circulation.
The following are the details of my coin:

India before adopting its decimal stance was using a 64-Pice as a Rupee. This PICE was minted between 15th August 1950-1955 (Source Wikipedia). It is minted in Bronze. For more information on Republic India Coinage refer RBI Site. |
