1947 One Rupee Coin of India – Brief Note

The 1947 One Rupee coin of India is an important historical numismatic piece, as it represents the last year of British colonial rule in India. This coin was issued before India became independent on 15 August 1947, making it highly significant for collectors and historians.

The coin bears the portrait of King George VI on the obverse, symbolizing British sovereignty over India at that time. The reverse side features the Indian Tiger standing on a pedestal, a design introduced to represent India’s strength and identity. The inscription reads “ONE RUPEE – INDIA – 1947”, along with the value in both English and Persian script.

The 1947 One Rupee coin was minted in .500 silver, weighing approximately 11.66 grams, with a diameter of about 30.5 mm. It was produced at the Bombay Mint and circulated widely during the transitional period just before independence.

Today, the 1947 One Rupee coin is considered a collectible silver coin, valued for its historical importance, silver content, and colonial-era design. Its market value varies depending on condition, mint mark, and demand among collectors.
