INDIA ONE ANNA 1903 detail >
KING EDWARD VII
After Queen Victoria died in 1901, her elder son, King Edward VII ascended the throne. The Edward VII series of coins of India are dated 1903-1910. There are four silver coins (Rupee, 1/2 Rupee, 1/4 Rupee and 2 Annas) and three copper coins (1/4 Anna, 1/2 Pice and 1/12 Anna). A cupro-nickel 1 Anna coin was introduced in 1906. That same year the copper coins were replace by bronze issues with the same obverse and reverse designs but with thinner plancet. The 1906 coins come in both varieties of copper and bronze issues.

The King Edward VII coins are distinct as the head is uncrowned. The apparent explanation is, that when Queen Victoria died on 22 January 1901, Edward's coronation was not held till 09 August 1902. The master dies were created before the coronation, so it was not possible to show him wearing the crown! On 05th December 1902, it was announcement that from 1st January 1903 the new coins would be issued. It is reported that a new portrait was prepared for 1910, but King Edward's died the same year. The one Anna coin was introduced in 1906 and it does have a portrait of the King wearing his crown.

KING GEORGE VI

After the death of King George V his son, King Edward VIII became the King, but abdicated before the coronation. No coins were minted using his portrait. His younger brother the Duke of York was crowned as King George VI in May 1937 and the first coin of India with his effigy was minted in 1938. After the outbreak of World War II in 1939, the price of silver started going up, in practice the silver coins became valuable then the value written on them. This led to reducing the use of silver in coins. The 1940 1/4-Rupee, 1/2-Rupee and One Rupee coins were reduced from 0.917 silver to 0.500 silver (there were a limited number of 1947 Rupees minted in 0.500 silver).

Mainly there is no mint mark for Calcutta, the Bombay issues have a small dot or diamond (commonly known as reverse B) under the lotus flower, near the bottom of the coin and the Lahore mint used a small "L" in the same position.

KING GEORGE V

King Edward VII died on May 06, 1910 and was followed to the throne by his son King George V, who had his coronation on June 22, 1911. Coins were minted in India with the effigy of King George V from 1911 to 1936. Due to the increase in the price of silver caused by World War I (1914-1918) the silver 1/2 Rupee, 1/4 Rupee and 2 Annas were discontinued and new cupro-nickel coins introduced (8 Annas, 4 Annas and 2 Anna) to join the cupro-nickel one Anna coin. These new coins were not popular, though, so the 8 Annas and 4 Annas coins were discontinued shortly after introduction. The 1/4 Rupee and 1/2 Rupee silver coins quickly resumed production but 2 Annas remained in cupro-nickel.
