George V, Silver Rupee, 1916, Calcutta Mint

George V Silver Rupee 1916, Calcutta Mint is a British India circulation coin struck in .917 fine silver during the First World War period, when Indian silver coinage formed a crucial part of the imperial monetary system. The obverse features the crowned and laureate bust of King George V with inscriptions denoting his royal titles, while the reverse displays the denomination “One Rupee” within a floral wreath along with the year of issue and the Calcutta mint mark. The 1916 issue is part of the standard pre-independence rupee series widely used across the Indian subcontinent for trade and daily transactions, and today it is collected for its historical context, consistent silver content, and its association with wartime-era British India coinage.
