1947 one rupee, half & quarter rupee- III




These are coins of british india period, especially the above set belongs to year 1947, of George VI king emperor, containing one rupee, half rupee and even quarter rupee. The coin shows one rupee written in englsih at the top, in hindi at the left and in urdu at the right. Apart from India and 1947, the year, we can see a lion. Some of the coins minted in British India were also proof.  Albert Frederick Arthur George (George VI) was the king of England from 11 december  1936 to  Feb 1952. He was the last king of India until 1947, so this is the one of the last coins of British India. Of course, this one is made of nickel.
