British India 1914 One Rupee

Own a substantial piece of Georgian silver with the 1914 British India 1 Rupee, minted under George V as the Great War began.
Struck in .917 sterling-grade silver and measuring around 30 mm, the Rupee carries the crowned effigy of King George V on the obverse and the denomination within an ornate floral wreath on the reverse. As the principal silver unit of the Raj, it was a coin of real weight and value in everyday commerce.
The 1914 issue circulated at a pivotal historical moment, as India's soldiers and resources were drawn into a global conflict that would reshape the empire and the subcontinent alike.
Set into hand-carved oak wood, the 1914 Rupee becomes the centrepiece of a luxurious Anka timepiece, the wood's natural grain complementing its aged surface in a refined, wearable record of history.

USP : A weighty George V silver Rupee from the outbreak of the Great War, preserved as a wearable artifact of British India.
