1939 British India Copper 1/12 Anna BU
This 1939 copper coin represents a fascinating moment in mid-century numismatics, minted for circulation in India during the era of British administration. Struck at either the Calcutta or Bombay mints, this small-denomination piece carries a face value of 1/12 Anna. It survives today in Brilliant Uncirculated condition, preserving its original mint luster and the sharp details of its design. The obverse of the coin displays the left-facing, crowned portrait of King George VI, the reigning monarch of the time. This royal likeness is surrounded by inscriptions identifying the ruler. On the reverse, the coin features its denomination, the country name, and the 1939 date, all elegantly framed within a decorative wreath. Cataloged as KM-526, this copper issue offers a tangible connection to the complex history of pre-independence India.
