George V, Silver, Rupee, 1914, Bombay Mint, Dot. GK 1030, F. Prid 220. NGC Slabbed AU 58. Scarce.

George V Silver Rupee 1914, Bombay Mint (Dot variety) (GK 1030, Prid 220) is a British India imperial coin struck in .917 fine silver as part of the standard circulating rupee series widely used across the Indian subcontinent during the early reign of George V. The obverse features the crowned and draped bust of King George V with imperial inscriptions, while the reverse carries the denomination “One Rupee” within a floral wreath along with the date and Bombay Mint attribution, with the Dot variety serving as a diagnostic mint feature used to distinguish specific die characteristics within this issue.

This 1914 rupee forms part of the early George V silver series, a time when the rupee remained the backbone of everyday monetary transactions in colonial India. The Bombay Mint Dot issues are collected for their identifiable minting variation and their role in early 20th-century imperial coinage standardization.

The example graded NGC AU58 is an About Uncirculated specimen showing only light wear on the highest points with strong remaining mint luster, placing it just below Mint State condition. Its “Scarce” designation reflects moderate availability overall, with well-preserved and clearly attributed Dot variety examples being more desirable in advanced British India silver rupee collections.
