George VI Bronze Quarter Anna 1938, Bombay Mint (Dot variety, Head Type I) (GK 1419) is a British India circulation coin struck in bronze as part of the fractional pre-decimal currency system used widely across colonial India. The obverse features the early portrait (Head Type I) of King George VI with surrounding imperial inscriptions, while the reverse carries the denomination “Quarter Anna” along with the date, mint mark, and distinctive spacing of numerals noted for this variety. The “Dot” and design diagnostics such as dots by value and widely spaced small numerals identify a specific die variety within the 1938 Bombay Mint issues, making it of interest to variety collectors. This example graded NGC AU55 (About Uncirculated) shows light wear on the highest points with remaining original detail and moderate mint luster, placing it just below Mint State condition. The “Very Scarce” designation reflects its relative difficulty in the marketplace, particularly in certified collectible grades and identifiable die varieties.
