{"product_id":"british-india-1903-2-anna-231","title":"British India 1903 2 Anna","description":"\u003cp\u003eStep into the early twentieth century with the 1903 British India 2 Anna coin, struck under King Edward VII during one of the more refined eras of colonial coinage. Issued just two years after Queen Victoria's death, this coin marked the formal beginning of Edwardian-era British Indian currency - characterised by elegant portraiture and the polished aesthetics of late imperial design.\u003cbr\u003eStruck in silver and weighing approximately 1.5 grams, the 2 Anna features the dignified bareheaded portrait of King Edward VII on the obverse, while the reverse displays the denomination within an ornate floral wreath - a hallmark of British Indian coinage of the period. Despite its modest face value, the silver content and refined design gave this coin a quiet sense of dignity in everyday circulation.\u003cbr\u003eThe 1903 2 Anna passed through markets and households across the subcontinent during the height of the Edwardian Raj, a period of relative imperial stability and elaborate cultural pageantry. Today, well-preserved examples carry both the elegance of their original design and the patina of more than a century of history.\u003cbr\u003eSet into hand-carved oak wood, the 1903 2 Anna becomes the centrepiece of a luxurious Anka timepiece. The wood's natural grain complements the coin's aged silver patina, transforming a piece of Edwardian-era commerce into a refined, wearable record of British India.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUSP : An elegant Edwardian-era silver 2 Anna, reimagined as a wearable piece of early twentieth-century British India.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Anka Watches","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":63009982972275,"sku":"ANKA-C-1903BRTI-2A-F-EDVII-231","price":20800.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0944\/7941\/7715\/files\/DSC00777.jpg?v=1782115332","url":"https:\/\/anka.watch\/products\/british-india-1903-2-anna-231","provider":"Anka Watches","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
