This is an exceptional British India 2 Annas silver coin minted in 1915 during the reign of King George V. The coin represents a fascinating piece of colonial Indian numismatic history, issued under British rule between 1912 and 1917. Struck from .917 fine silver, this petite coin weighs just 1.46 grams with a diameter of 15.4mm, making it a delicate yet substantial collectible. The 1915 date is particularly significant for collectors, as this specific year marks a scarce period in the series. This denomination—2 Annas, representing one-eighth of a Rupee—was standard circulation currency during the early 20th century but has now become a demonetized numismatic treasure. The milled technique and medal alignment (↑↑) showcase the period's minting craftsmanship. Collectors prize this coin for its historical importance as a symbol of British India's monetary system, combined with its silver content and rarity. The 1915 date commands particular collector interest, making this an excellent addition to any British India or George V collection. Its authentic composition, exceptional small size, and historical context make it a worthwhile investment for numismatists seeking genuine colonial artifacts. #
