George VI, Nickel, Rupee, 1947, Lahore Mint, E/IV, No mint mark, Security edge. F. Prid Unlisted. GK 1293. NGC Slabbed MS 62. Rare

The 1947 George VI Nickel Rupee of the Lahore Mint (GK 1293) is one of the most desirable circulation issues of late British India. Struck in nickel with the iconic tiger reverse and security edge, it bears no mint mark, identifying it as a Lahore Mint issue produced in the final year before Indian independence. Catalogued as GK 1293 and noted as F. Pridham unlisted, the coin is significantly scarcer than the more common Bombay Mint variety. This example, certified NGC MS 62, exhibits strong mint lustre and minimal wear, making it a premium collector piece.
