British India 1935 1/4 Anna

Step into the late reign of King George V with the 1935 British India ¼ Anna coin, a foundational denomination of everyday commerce across the subcontinent during the closing years of George's long rule. As one of the most widely circulated bronze coins of late colonial India, the ¼ Anna threaded through markets, transport, and small daily transactions in every corner of the empire.
Struck in bronze, the coin measures approximately 25 mm in diameter and weighs around 4.8 grams. Its obverse features the dignified crowned effigy of King George V, while the reverse displays the denomination set within a clean classical design framed by ornamental detailing characteristic of late British India coinage. The 1935 issue was minted during one of the final years of George V's reign before his death in January 1936.
The ¼ Anna circulated heavily across the subcontinent, its modest face value making it an essential part of everyday life. Today, well-preserved examples carry both the weight of imperial-era craftsmanship and the warm patina of decades in circulation.
Set into hand-carved oak wood, the 1935 ¼ Anna becomes the centrepiece of a luxurious Anka timepiece. The wood's natural grain complements the coin's aged bronze surface, transforming a humble piece of everyday currency into a refined, wearable record of late George V–era India.

USP : A foundational bronze denomination from the closing years of George V's reign, reimagined as a wearable piece of late colonial India.
