This exceptional 1 Anna copper-nickel coin from 1936 represents a significant piece of British Indian numismatic history. Struck during the reign of King George V at the prestigious Bombay Mint, this coin showcases the monarch's left-facing profile surrounded by period inscriptions, with the reverse displaying the denomination and date—hallmarks of colonial-era Indian coinage. Weighing precisely 3.92 grams and measuring 20.46mm in diameter, this specimen exemplifies the craftsmanship of early 20th-century mint production. The Extremely Fine grade is particularly noteworthy, as coins of this denomination and age are rarely encountered in such pristine condition. The copper-nickel composition provided durability for everyday circulation, yet this example has survived nearly nine decades with remarkable preservation. Historically, the 1 Anna served as a fundamental unit in the pre-decimal Indian currency system under British rule. Collectors and numismatists highly prize George V issues, especially those in superior grades. This coin's rarity at such an elevated condition level makes it a coveted acquisition for serious collectors building comprehensive George V collections or focusing on British Indian coinage. Its investment potential is enhanced by its scarcity, historical significance, and excellent state of preservation, making it both a cultural artifact and a sound collector's piece.
