George V, Silver, 1/4 Rupee, 1925, Bombay Mint, Dot. GK 1093, F. Prid 458. NGS Slabbed MS 60+ Prime. Very Scarce.

George V Silver ¼ Rupee 1925, Bombay Mint (Dot variety) (GK 1093, Prid 458) is a British India fractional coin struck in .917 fine silver as part of the standard pre-decimal currency system that circulated extensively across the Indian subcontinent during the reign of George V. The obverse features the crowned and draped bust of King George V with imperial inscriptions, while the reverse displays the denomination “Quarter Rupee” within a floral wreath along with the date and Bombay Mint attribution, distinguished by the Dot variety, an important diagnostic feature for collectors and specialists of British India coinage.

Issued during the mid-1920s, this coin belongs to a period of stable monetary circulation when silver fractional denominations remained essential for everyday transactions throughout colonial India. The Bombay Mint Dot varieties are particularly sought after for their identifiable minting characteristics and relative scarcity in higher grades.

The example graded NGC MS60+ Prime is an uncirculated specimen retaining original mint luster and full design detail, with only moderate contact marks typical of mint storage and handling. The “Prime” designation highlights its superior eye appeal within the grade. Its classification as “Very Scarce” reflects its limited availability in certified Mint State condition, especially for the 1925 Bombay Mint Dot variety listed as GK 1093 and Pridham 458.
