• Grade: G 4 (Good 4)

Mintage
• Exact mintage varies by mint (Calcutta, Bombay, etc.), but millions were produced.

Collector Value

Approximate value:
• G condition: about $2 – $6 USD
• Better grades (VF–UNC): $10 – $40+

These coins are common but popular with collectors of British colonial coinage.

Interesting Fact

Before India adopted the decimal rupee system in 1957, the currency system was:
• 1 Rupee = 16 Annas
• 1 Anna = 4 Pice
• 1 Pice = 3 Pies

So this coin (¼ anna) represented a very small everyday denomination used in daily markets.
