George VI, Nickel, Rupee, (2 coins), 1947, Lahore Mint, E/IV, No mint mark, Security edge. GK 1293. Extremely Fine+ to Almost Uncirculated. Scarce.

The 1947 George VI Nickel Rupee (Set of 2 Coins), struck at the Lahore Mint (No Mint Mark), is a scarce and historically significant issue from the final year of British India coinage. Catalogued as GK 1293, these coins feature the Head Type E/IV portrait of King George VI on the obverse and the standard wreath design with denomination on the reverse. Struck in nickel with a distinctive security edge, this issue reflects the wartime and post-war transition period in Indian currency production. Offered in Extremely Fine+ to Almost Uncirculated (EF+ to AU) condition, both coins retain strong details, sharp devices, and pleasing overall eye appeal with light circulation wear. Scarce in this quality and as a matched pair, this lot is a desirable addition to collections of British India coinage, George VI issues, and final-year pre-independence numismatic sets.
