1936 British India 1 Anna George V Copper-Nickel Coin
This 1936 1 Anna coin represents the final year of the reign of King George V, making it a significant historical issue for collectors of British India coinage. Struck in a durable copper-nickel alloy, this piece features a distinctive scalloped (12-edged) shape that was unique to the Anna denominations of the era. The obverse displays the crowned bust of King George V facing left, surrounded by the legend GEORGE V KING EMPEROR. The reverse features the numeral 1 centrally located with the denomination ANNA above the date 1936, further embellished by ornate scrollwork and the value inscribed in four different regional languages: Urdu, Telugu, Nagari, and Bengali. This specific example is identified by KM# 513 and showcases the transition of imperial currency just prior to the reign of George VI. As a non-circular coin with a unique scalloped rim, it is a standout addition to any world numismatic collection.
1936 British India 1 Anna George V Copper-Nickel Scalloped Coin KM# 513
Condition: This coin appears to be in circulated condition, exhibiting significant wear across the high points of the portrait of King George V and the central denomination. The surfaces show a dull gray patina with various small scratches, contact marks, and generalized surface smoothing consistent with extensive time in circulation. The scalloped edges remain well-defined, and the date 1936 and mint marks are legible. It shows no signs of being a proof or special strike. The coin is composed of a copper-nickel alloy. It was struck under the authority of the British Raj at either the Calcutta or Bombay mint, representing the final year of King George V's reign. This specific 1 Anna denomination features a distinctive 12-scalloped edge design and was a staple of colonial Indian currency during the early 20th century. This is a business strike type, and the coin is currently ungraded, held in a standard 2x2 cardboard flip.
