East India Co. 1835 1/12 Anna

Own another rare example of the 1835 East India Company 1/12 Anna, struck under King William IV in the year that introduced uniform coinage across British India. Each surviving piece of this early copper denomination carries the quiet imprint of the Company's first major monetary reform — the moment when scattered regional mint outputs gave way to a single integrated currency.
The coin features the portrait of William IV on the obverse and the denomination within a classical design on the reverse, executed in the precise style of mid-1830s East India Company coinage. Its copper surface, often worn by nearly two centuries of circulation, lends each example a distinctive aged character.
Set into an Anka handcrafted wooden watch, this 1/12 Anna gains a new identity as a wearable centrepiece, where oak wood's grounded warmth honours the foundational character of EIC-era coinage and the inaugural moment of British India's uniform currency.

USP : An early copper workhorse of EIC-era India, transformed into a wearable artifact of the uniform coinage system's first year.
