George V, Silver, 2 Annas, 1911, Bombay Mint, Dot. GK 1107, F. Prid 564. NGC Slabbed XF 45. Very Scarce

George V Silver 2 Annas 1911, Bombay Mint (Dot variety) (GK 1107, Prid 564) is a British India fractional coin struck in .917 fine silver during the first year of King George V’s Indian coinage, forming part of the pre-decimal monetary system widely used across the subcontinent. The obverse bears the crowned and draped bust of George V with imperial legends, while the reverse features the denomination “Two Annas” within a decorative floral wreath, accompanied by the date and Bombay Mint attribution. The Dot variety is an important identifying feature that distinguishes this issue from other contemporary mint varieties and is closely studied by specialists in British India coinage.

As one of the earliest silver fractional issues of the George V series, the 1911 Bombay Mint 2 Annas occupies a significant place in the transition from Edward VII to George V coinage. The denomination played a vital role in everyday commerce, and surviving examples are increasingly sought after by collectors, particularly those with identifiable mint varieties.

The example graded NGC XF45 (Extremely Fine) displays moderate circulation wear on the highest points while retaining strong design detail and much of its original character. Its designation as “Very Scarce” reflects the relative difficulty of acquiring this early George V Bombay Mint Dot variety, especially as a certified and problem-free specimen.
