Description
Hold a piece of history in your hands with this 1947 One Rupee George VI coin — minted in the final year of British colonial rule, representing the last official Indian currency to bear the image of a British monarch before independence. The obverse features the crowned head of King George VI facing left, while the reverse depicts a striking Indian tiger (Panthera tigris) facing left, with “One Rupee” inscribed in Nagari, English, and Urdu. Designed by engravers Percy Metcalfe (obverse) and P.W.M. Brindley (reverse), this iconic “Leaping Tiger” coin was struck at the Lahore and Bombay mints. A historically significant piece marking the end of an era — perfect for collectors of British India coinage and Indian independence history.
