George VI 1943 Mix-Metal Coin Lot – 7 Coins | British India | Bombay, Lahore & Calcutta Mints

A scarce and attractive 7-coin George VI British India collection dated 1943, featuring a representative mix of silver, brass-nickel and bronze denominations from different Indian mints. The lot includes coins from the Bombay, Lahore and Calcutta Mints, with several identifiable mint marks, varieties and die characteristics.

The collection comprises Half Rupee, Quarter Rupee, 2 Annas, ½ Anna and 1 Pice denominations, including both silver and base-metal issues. Particularly interesting for specialists are the Bombay and Lahore Half Rupees, the Quarter Rupee with security edge, the 2 Annas with dots by the date, and the two distinct Bombay 1 Pice varieties with Round Crown and High Crown characteristics.

The coins are graded approximately About Uncirculated to Mint State, making this a desirable lot for collectors of George VI coinage, British India, Indian mint marks, varieties and pre-independence numismatics. The combination of denominations, metals, mints and varieties makes the group considerably more interesting than an ordinary date set.
