1919 - 8 Anna BRITISH INDIA Coin

OBVERSE


REVERSE

8 anna coin which was minted for only 2 years, 1919 and 1920. This coin was introduced in 1919 to replace the silver Half Rupee, because of the increased price of silver. It wasn't very popular, though, and due to this and a large number of counterfeits, it was discontinued in 1920 and withdrawn from circulation (it ceased to be legal tender in October 1924). In 1920 it was produced only at the Bombay mint.It is a rare coin for British India Coin collectors.

Note: I have two coins in this type after a long search.
