As a foundational low-value denomination, the ¼ Anna anchored everyday commerce across British India during one of the empire's most turbulent decades.\u003cbr\u003eComposed of bronze and measuring approximately 25 mm in diameter, the coin features the crowned effigy of King George VI on the obverse, alongside the denomination set within a refined classical design on the reverse. Its understated aesthetic carried forward the visual continuity of British Indian coinage even as the broader world plunged into upheaval.\u003cbr\u003eThe 1939 ¼ Anna circulated through markets, rail stations, and households across the subcontinent during the transition years between two great epochs of modern history. Today, well-preserved examples carry both the dignity of late colonial design and the quiet weight of their moment in time.\u003cbr\u003eSet into a finely crafted leather strap, the 1939 ¼ Anna becomes the centrepiece of a luxurious Anka timepiece. The smooth grain of the leather complements the coin's aged bronze surface, creating a contemporary, refined wearable that honours the historical gravity of pre-war British India.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUSP : A pre-war George VI ¼ Anna, preserved as a leather-strapped wearable artifact of late colonial India.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Anka Watches","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":63009983529331,"sku":"ANKA-C-1939BRTI-1\/4A-M-GRVI-238","price":20800.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0944\/7941\/7715\/files\/DSC00890.jpg?v=1782117599","url":"https:\/\/anka.watch\/products\/british-india-1939-14-anna-238","provider":"Anka Watches","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
