Product details

This is a 1941 British India One Rupee silver coin, struck during the reign of King George VI, in the midst of World War II. Available through TBNS Jewels, this coin offers collectors and precious metal buyers an authentic piece of pre-Independence Indian silver history from one of the most consequential periods of the 20th century.

The obverse features the crowned bust of King George VI, with the legend "GEORGE VI KING EMPEROR," struck in the standard silver alloy used for British India Rupees of this period. The reverse carries the ornate floral wreath design characteristic of this series, with the denomination "ONE RUPEE INDIA" and the date "1941" at the center, surrounded by detailed rose, shamrock, thistle, and lotus motifs — floral emblems representing England, Ireland, Scotland, and India respectively, a hallmark of this Rupee series.

Why this coin matters for your collection:

  • 1941 wartime issue — struck during a critical year of World War II, when British India's silver Rupees played a key role in sustaining wartime economic activity
  • King George VI series — part of the widely collected final decade of British India's colonial-era silver coinage, immediately preceding Indian Independence in 1947
  • Detailed floral reverse design — the rose, shamrock, thistle, and lotus motif is a hallmark of this series and a favorite among British India Rupee collectors
  • Genuine silver content — real precious metal value alongside historical and collector significance
  • Strong strike quality — this example shows clear, well-defined details on both obverse and reverse, appealing to collectors who prioritize eye appeal

Whether you're building a King George VI type set by year, assembling a WWII-era coinage collection, or adding to your precious metal holdings, this 1941 One Rupee coin is a solid, historically meaningful addition — available at TBNS Jewels, your source for silver and gold coins.
