Colonial silver coin issued during British rule in India and minted at the Bombay mint, identified by the letter 'B' below the date. The obverse features the crowned bust of King George V dressed in imperial uniform. The reverse, of great artistic beauty, displays a complex vegetal ornamentation around the face value and issuing country. This design is part of the iconic 'floral' series started in 1911.

Disclaimer: For orders shipped outside the European Union, I want to make it absolutely clear that I ship from Spain. This means that if the package is sent to any country outside the European Union, and/or inside the EU that has a special tax agreement (for example: Canary Islands), it might be stopped in your local customs, and they might ask you to pay taxes. This is a customs legal procedure and is completely out of our control. Thank you for your understanding.
