This exceptional copper 1/4 Anna coin represents a significant piece of Indian numismatic history from the Indore State during the reign of Shivaji Rao Holkar (1886-1903 AD). Minted in the year VS1945 (corresponding to 1888-1889 AD), this coin showcases the distinctive Nandi Seated Type design, featuring a sacred bull reclining leftward with the continuous legend "Indore" inscribed below on the obverse. The reverse displays the denomination and date in elegant precision. Weighing 6.47 grams and measuring 26.18mm in diameter, this copper specimen bears the Krause-Mishler catalog designation KM33.1, making it easily identifiable for serious collectors. Graded in Very Fine condition, the coin retains excellent detail and character despite its considerable age of over 130 years. The preservation of the Nandi imagery—sacred to Hindu tradition—adds both cultural and historical significance. This piece exemplifies the unique coinage system of princely states, offering collectors an authentic window into pre-independence India's numismatic heritage and the artistic standards of the Holkar dynasty. --- #
