British India 1947 Two Anna

Step into the final year of British India with the 1947 Two Anna coin, one of the last of the distinctive square cupro-nickel series introduced during the Second World War.
Recognisable instantly by its rounded-corner square shape, the coin carries the crowned effigy of George VI on the obverse and the denomination on the reverse. The square format, a wartime innovation, made the coin immediately distinguishable in the hand.
As a 1947 issue, it circulated in the very months India moved toward independence, a familiar fixture of everyday economic life at a historic turning point.
Set into hand-carved oak wood, the 1947 Two Anna 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 distinctive square 1947 Two Anna under George VI, preserved as a wearable artifact of British India's final year.
