Historical significance
This coin represents the final era of British rule in India before independence in 1947. Due to wartime silver shortages, the silver content was reduced from 91.7% to 50% in 1940.
Estimated value
$10 - $30 USD (depending on the specific year, mint mark, and condition)
Care & preservation
Store in an acid-free holder; avoid handling with bare hands to prevent tarnishing from skin oils; do not clean or polish as this significantly reduces numismatic value.
