This exceptional Copper 1/4 Anna coin represents a significant piece of British-Indian numismatic history from the late Victorian era. Minted at the prestigious Calcutta Mint in 1897, this quarter-anna denomination showcases the regal profile of Victoria Empress in left-facing profile on the obverse, with the date and denomination elegantly displayed on the reverse. Weighing 6.34 grams and measuring 25.31mm in diameter, this copper specimen exemplifies the craftsmanship of late 19th-century Indian coinage. The 1897 quarter-anna represents a transitional period in Indian currency when British imperial denominations were in circulation throughout the subcontinent. The Calcutta Mint issue carries particular appeal among collectors due to its relative scarcity compared to other mint locations. Graded in Very Fine condition, this coin displays excellent detail retention and authentic patina that speaks to its age and provenance. Collectors of British-Indian coins, Victoria-era numismatics, and Indian historical artifacts will find this piece a valuable addition to their collections. Its condition and mint origin make it an increasingly sought-after investment item for serious numismatists. #
