1936 C (Calcutta Mint) British India George VI 1/4 Anna Copper Coin NGC MS65RB Highlights: 1. As the final 1/4 Anna of George V, yet struck and issued during Edward VIII’s short reign, this coin directly witnesses the rare 1936 royal succession drama. Combined with the late colonial Indian context, it carries strong historical narrative value. 2. The “Year of Three Kings” provides excellent display and conversation value, especially for those building British royal-themed or complete British India sets. It strengthens the coin’s symbolism as the end of an era (late colonial period + royal transition). 3. NGC MS65 RB certification provides authenticity and market liquidity, while the coin’s classic design (crowned bust and wreath reverse) offers excellent eye appeal at a modest price point. It serves as an ideal “type” or series-ending piece for collectors building British India sets without requiring ultra-rare key dates. Coin Story: 1936 was the last year of the reign of King George V (reigned 1910–1936), who passed away in January of that year. Therefore, this 1/4 Anna is regarded as the “last date” of the George V 1/4 Anna series. During George V’s rule, British India continued to use a rupee-based monetary system where 1 Rupee = 16 Annas, 1 Anna = 4 Pice, and 1/4 Anna equaled 1/64 Rupee. These small-denomination coins were widely used for everyday minor transactions among the large Indian population.
