Struck in 50% silver, certified NGC PF-67 Ultra Cameo.
The Bombay Mint issue (mint mark \'B\') is one of the most collected varieties. Struck in 50% silver, this coin represents a transition from the British era to independent India and holds immense historical and numismatic value.
It is a popular choice among both new and experienced collectors due to its beautiful design, historical importance and silver content.
Historical Significance
Minted in 1947, this was the first coin of independent India, marking the end of British rule and the beginning of a new nation.
Mint Information
Bombay Mint was one of the major mints during British India and continued operations after independence.
Collector's Note
Look for the 'B' mint mark below the date. Coins in higher grades and original mint state can command significant premiums at auction.
