George V, Cupro-Nickel Anna, 1919, Bombay Mint, (Prid 949).Graded by NGC MS62.

George V Cupro-Nickel Anna, 1919, Bombay Mint (Prid 949) is a British India circulation coin issued shortly after World War I, representing the transition from traditional copper-based minor coinage to more durable cupro-nickel alloy for everyday use. The obverse carries the crowned effigy of King George V with imperial inscriptions, while the reverse shows the denomination “One Anna” with the date and Bombay mint mark. This issue reflects early 20th-century monetary reforms aimed at improving coin longevity in circulation across India. The example graded NGC MS62 indicates an uncirculated coin with attractive original mint luster and only minor contact marks consistent with light handling at the mint or during storage, making it a desirable collector-grade specimen of the series.
