This bronze coin from India, struck between 1912 and 1936 during the reign of Emperor George V, represents the colonial monetary system under British rule. Minted at the India Government Mints in Kolkata and Mumbai, the coin carries a denomination of one quarter anna and is executed in bronze with a plain edge and circular form, featuring an upraised rim. The obverse bears the crowned portrait of George V with the inscription "King Emperor," reflecting the dual role of the monarch, while the reverse is framed with floral and geometric motifs encircling the denomination and date. With a diameter of 25.4 mm, a thickness of 1.35 mm, and a weight of 4.85 grams, it embodies the practicality and durability required for everyday circulation in colonial India. The style connects to both the Victorian-influenced engraving traditions and the utilitarian needs of a vast empire, making it a collectible of historical and numismatic significance. Condition: Worn, surface corrosion and circulation wear, but design details remain partially visible.
