George V, Silver, Rupee,1920, Calcutta Mint, No dot. GK 1041. NGS Slabbed MS 60+ Prime. Very Scarce.

George V Silver Rupee 1920, Calcutta Mint (No dot variety) (GK 1041) is a British India circulation coin struck in .917 fine silver as part of the standard imperial rupee series widely used across the Indian subcontinent in the early post–First World War period. The obverse features the crowned and draped bust of King George V with imperial inscriptions, while the reverse displays the denomination “One Rupee” within a floral wreath along with the date and Calcutta Mint attribution, here identified by the absence of a dot variety.

This issue belongs to the later phase of George V rupee coinage, produced during a period of economic adjustment following the war, when silver coinage remained essential for daily transactions across colonial India. The 1920 Calcutta Mint rupee is part of a broadly circulated series, but well-preserved varieties without dot characteristics are increasingly sought after in higher grades.

The example graded NGC MS60+ (Prime) is an uncirculated specimen showing full mint luster with noticeable but moderate contact marks, placing it at the entry level of Mint State preservation. Its “Very Scarce” designation reflects its relatively limited availability in certified Mint State condition, particularly for Calcutta Mint no-dot examples within the 1920 rupee series.
