British India 1947 Half Rupee

Step into the closing chapter of British India with the 1947 Half Rupee, the final Half Rupee issued under colonial rule.
Struck in nickel, the Half Rupee carries the dignified portrait of King George VI on the obverse, while the reverse displays the denomination within a refined floral wreath, a classic British Indian design element. As one of the last Half Rupees of the Raj, it marked the end of a long imperial monetary tradition.
The 1947 issue circulated through the very markets, railway counters, and households where the independence movement crested, making it a compact, tangible reminder of an era at its threshold.
Set into hand-carved oak wood, the 1947 Half 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 : The final Half Rupee of British India, struck in the year of independence and preserved as a wearable witness to history.
