This exceptional copper 1/4 Anna coin represents a fascinating piece of Indian numismatic history from the princely state of Indore. Minted during the reign of Shivaji Rao Holkar (1886-1903 AD / VS1943-1960), this coin exemplifies the unique coinage traditions of pre-independence Indian states. The obverse features a continuous legend displaying the ruler's name and "Indore," accompanied by the sacred Nandi bull reclining left—a distinctive design element reflecting the cultural significance of the bull in Indian tradition. The reverse displays the date (VS1947) positioned below the denomination marking. Graded in About Very Fine condition, this 6.25-gram specimen (25.91mm diameter) showcases excellent preservation despite its age. Catalogued as KM #33.1, this coin is highly sought by serious collectors of Indian state coins and historical currency enthusiasts. The Nandi Seated Type is particularly prized among numismatists for its artistic merit and historical importance. Coins from Indore State command collector interest due to their relative scarcity and the state's prominent role in Indian history. An authentic investment piece that bridges numismatic value with historical significance. #
