Composed of pure silver, this one rupee coin bears the distinctive hallmarks of the Calcutta Mint, identifiable by its mint mark. The 1919 issue is particularly sought after by collectors, as it represents a transitional period in Indian currency history, bridging the late Victorian and early modern era of coinage.
