George V, Silver, Half Rupee, (2 coins), 1) 1916, Calcutta Mint, No dot, 2) 1917, Bombay Mint, Dot. GK 1053, 1055. Almost Uncirculated to Very Fine+. Scarce.

This lot comprises two George V Silver Half Rupees from the British India series: 1916 Calcutta Mint (No Dot) and 1917 Bombay Mint (Dot), catalogued as GK 1053 and GK 1055 respectively. Struck in silver during the First World War era, these coins feature the crowned portrait of King George V on the obverse and the denomination with elegant floral motifs on the reverse. The absence or presence of the mint mark dot below the date distinguishes the Calcutta and Bombay Mint issues, making them attractive to collectors of mint varieties. Graded from Almost Uncirculated (AU) to Very Fine+ (VF+), both coins display strong details and pleasing eye appeal. Scarce and historically significant, this pair offers an excellent opportunity to acquire representative examples of early George V silver coinage and is a valuable addition to any British India or silver rupee collection.
