East India Co. 1835 1/12 Anna

Discover a variant of the 1835 East India Company 1/12 Anna, issued under King William IV as part of the inaugural uniform coinage system that standardised British Indian currency across the subcontinent. Variants within this foundational issue — small differences in mint mark, die strike, or surface preservation — are particularly prized by collectors of early Company-era coinage.
Struck in copper, the coin carries the portrait of William IV on the obverse, framed by the classical styling that characterised mid-1830s EIC mints. The reverse displays the denomination within a clean restrained design typical of the first generation of uniform British Indian coinage. As a foundational low-value coin, the 1/12 Anna passed through markets, ports, and household economies across the subcontinent.
Set into an Anka handcrafted wooden watch, this variant becomes a wearable artifact of early colonial commerce, where oak's natural warmth lends quiet dignity to a small but historically significant piece of British India's monetary origins.

USP : A scarce variant of the 1835 EIC 1/12 Anna under William IV — a wearable piece of inaugural-era British India.
