Republic of India 1957 2 Paisa

Mark a milestone in Indian monetary history with the 1957 Republic of India 2 Paisa, from the very year the nation adopted decimal currency.
Before 1957, the Rupee was divided into 16 Annas; the decimal reform introduced the 'naya paisa,' 100 to the Rupee. This 2 Paisa coin, struck in cupro-nickel, carries the Lion Capital on the obverse and the new decimal denomination on the reverse, a small artifact of a sweeping national change.
A coin that marks the moment India modernised its money for a new era.
Set into hand-carved oak wood, the 1957 2 Paisa 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 1957 decimal-era 2 Paisa from India's naya paisa reform, preserved as a wearable marker of monetary history.
