EDITORS COMMENTS
A symbol of British colonial rule in India during World War II, this stunning silver coin features King George VI on one side and a majestic lion's head on the other. Minted in 1940, it represents the Indian rupee currency at its peak value before independence was declared in 1947.
The obverse bears an impressive portrait of King George VI (1895-1952), who ruled as Emperor of India from 1936 until his death. The reverse showcases a regal lion's head, symbolizing strength and courage - qualities that defined the British Empire during its colonial reign over India.
This rare coin print offers a unique glimpse into the complex history between Britain and India during World War II. As Indian independence movements gained momentum in the 1940s, this silver rupee serves as a poignant reminder of the country's transition from being a British colony to an independent nation.
The intricate details on both sides of the coin are beautifully captured in this high-quality print, making it a fascinating addition to any collection or display. Whether you're interested in history, numismatics, or simply appreciate stunning artwork, this 1-rupee silver coin is sure to captivate and inspire.
